Waterbox VS ???

Espino963 · Feb 11, 2020

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the market for a new tank and at this point the Waterbox Marine 70.3 and the Waterbox Frag 85.3 have my attention. I'm coming from a Fluval 13.5 and the maintenance is brutal with such small water volume, however i have been able to manage and look forward to something bigger.

The Frag 85.3 is $1,660.99 and the Marine 70.3 is $1,254.99
Are there any other tanks similar for the same price point? I'm still new to the hobby and not sure what else is out there besides the Redsea, IM and Waterbox. I want to have a mixed reef mostly SPS dominant but really open to all kinds of corals since i'm still fairly new.

I hope all you experienced reefers can help out.

Thank You

Frag 36"L x24"W x16"H
Marine 36"L x20"W x18"H

Personally, I love my Red Sea Reefer 250. 64 gallons total, 54 display and 10 gallon sump. Perfect size tank for my living room. Love how clean it looks, glass is amazingly clear, and the sump is great.

Cade has some similarly priced tanks but I’m not sure if they are available where you are

Which one do you have? How's the plumbing it comes with and the sump?

70.2 cube. Plumbing and sump is top notch. I decided to go with waterbox because the overflow is all glass. Have not gotten around to putting the door on yet
