Waterbox tips 130.4 or 180
Looking to buy a 130.4 or 180 gallon water box.
I have been out of the hobby for about 10 years and this seems like an easy way to jump back in with two feet. I was wondering what you all think about the lighting system that comes with the unit. Id like to have some SPS but nothing crazy... mostly LPS and polyps. Please let me know if anyone has this tank or can think of better options. What is the best lighting system for a tank like this. which tank do you all think is the best size.. 180 or 130.4 TIA

I remember listening to a podcast by Saltwater Aquariums and one of the host’s recommendations was to always get the biggest tank possible. He said that no matter how big you make your tank, at some point within the next 3-12 months, you’ll look at your tank and wish it was at least a little bigger for whatever reason. Anecdotally, I can confirm this. I went from a 3 gallon to a 20 tall, to a 20 long. Thought the 20 long was massive at first but soon looked at it and said “There’s almost no space for corals.” Bought a JBJ 45. It looked monstrous at first and now I’m wishing it was longer. |

Reef This - how long did it take from when you ordered until you finally received your equipment? I was initially planning to purchase everything from Waterbox (Nyos skimmer, MP40s, etc), but they are out of a lot of stuff. They are currently out of the stands for the Hydra 32s, so I have to wait 3-4 weeks.

It took about 7 weeks from order to receive the tank. I was also waiting on the arms for the Hydras. Everything I ordered from Saltwateraquarium.com.. They are literally 8 minutes from my house.
