Waterbox 70.3

Hello all,

I'm not new to reefkeeping but I have been out of the game several years. I just recently fired a few of my old tanks backup. Well now I've got the itch again. I purchased a Waterbox 70.3 and I would like to share my journey.

My new 230.6 should be on the truck in the morning. Only a few days till I get to start my build thread for it.

Update us...please. I am excited to see what you do with this.

Sorry guys.

It was very well packaged. Stand was a little difficult. Took around an hour or so. Poor instructions.

Here is the sand I used and the return pump. I used 40# of special grade reef sand. A simplicity DC 1000 return pump.
