New to Houston, RSM or Waterbox? (1 Viewer)

[hali08]

Hey guys!
Moved here a year ago and love it.
Have had reef tanks for the past decade, on and off.

Brought a Red Sea Reefer 250 from South Florida, it was packed in the garage for the past few years there as well.
Just opened it yesterday and found a chip and I think the tank is a goner.

Looks like I'm in the market for a new tank now, what are your thoughts on waterbox?
I wanted a 50-60gallon tank, which one would you guys go for?

If you want it fast, Red Sea. They are local to houston and if there’s issues they can help pretty fast

I recently bought a Waterbox tank. I like their product but I don’t know if I care for their sales team and support.

Another tank to consider is maybe innovative marine. They’ve been having 40% sales on various tanks every other week or so. This week it seems like 100g penisula.

What store would you recommend to get RSM? and who carries waterbox?
I have had two of their tanks before, and I loved them.
Just got back into the hobby after 2-3 years and started hearing a lot about waterbox.
They seem to be pricier as well.

Take a look at the new Red Sea XL300 G2 tank. It’s really nice and out of the box compatible with the ReefMat.

I don’t think so. Waterbox delivers though and has good financing options which is why a lot of people get them.

There is a 180 waterbox on sale in Houston on Facebook for 1800. You might be able to haggle down to 1500 but it's a good deal for a 4k tank

I've had Waterbox, Innovative Marine and now I'm on a Planet Aquarium, no experience with Red Sea but heard of their older tanks leaking but I think they fixed it now. I'm also in Richmond area.
If you want local for Waterbox, check out The Fish Bowl & More. I bought 2 Waterbox tanks from them, a 20 gallon All in One and upgraded to a 65 gallon All in One. I also bought my current Planet Aquarium tank from them and they tend to keep a lot in store

Sounds like a great deal, but a little too big for me right now :/

It’s nice to have Red Sea North America HQ right near Intercontinental airport. I’ve been twice to pick items up.

I ended up going with RS, and them being local being one of the reasons.

Fish bowl in Pearland is a water box dealer.

Edit: clearly I was too late on this one, lol!

What Red Sea tank did you end up going with? I have a 300 XL and it’s been great.
