Pro Clear Aquatics……3/4” beveled glass, dual overflow and return T.
Stand frame is aluminum and comes pre-built.
……and at a very nice price…….

Have Had Multiple AQUEON Tanks 2 75 gallon two 125 gallon and 4 40 breeders all were well made and spotless and still have 2 40 breeders and 125 setup all pristine glass work and going on three years without a problem .Looked in too custom tanks cost was three time the cost and I felt money was better spent on livestock and High Quality equipment. My Opinion but it worked.

After buying a Waterbox from a fellow reefer on here, I would never buy anything with the name Waterbox again.
R2R member had a brand new tank 105.4 in the crate without a plumbing kit and they refused to sell me a plumbing kit (which if you didn’t know are specific to this brand of aquarium) , I am kinda upset that I bought my first tank from them.
No reason to wonder why bulk reef supply doesn’t sell them.

Did you ever get your plumbing issue resolved? Is it just he bulkhead sizing your are having problems with?

If so would you mind sharing the hole sizes in mm or inches?

I haven’t decided yet. Funny this got a ping as it was what I was thinking through at 430 this morning when the youngest woke up with a “spider” (clothes fuzz) on her

I’m leaning heavily on the CDA for the steel stand with wood wrap as well. I love that they let you put a PVC bottom in as well. The issue I was thinking through was how to secure a manifold to a steel stand. Im sure it’s solved but it was what my sleep-deprived mind was working on.

You should call them and ask if they can add mounting support on the steel.
my intent is to mount a strip of marine grade plywood to the back.

Yes, ended up getting fittings from Amazon after several failed attempts with Waterbox.
got the fittings you see in the picture along with the 25 mm, worked perfect!.
They are 32 and 25mm

I got a waterbox for my first tank, but if I had to do it again would probably go IM or Red Sea

(sorry it wouldn’t let me edit my reply)
But after those fittings I just put standard-metric unions and finished plumbing in standard pvc.
I still don’t understand why Waterbox doesn’t offer parts to their own stuff? Baffles me, but on the flipside I know I’ll never have to spend another dollar again with them. Learned my lesson with them. Glasscages for my next tank without a doubt!
