That is what I’m leaning towards. I like the 30” width. Although a custom planet tank has appeal as well.

To me the pros of the waterbox is it has everything included. I don’t have to think about it. But if you are not happy with what it comes with then it’s a con.

I have to admit right now with all of the supply chain issues I’m worried about the availability of really everything.

Yeah, that’s the only con is taking what they give you. At this point we’re getting too old to be building these big systems. So much less work and headaches just to order and have it shipped to your door. You can convert the plumbing to American. The sumps look good. Haven’t seen the overflow box. Here’s PSXerholic’s new Waterbox tank.

what about a 200 gallon innovative marine



They got a promo with a 350 gc for top shelf aquatics. I'm not sure how I feel about their metal stands. I like the eurobracing.

i think i shoulda bought the innovative marine instead of the waterbox. The only thing I didn't like was the fact there aren't any cut out for light mounts on the nuvo ext 200. So you'd have to hang a light or something.

maybe

the ecomarine hms light track system.

I like the idea of 2 full (6’+) viewing sides
And I don’t like scrapping the back glass so it always ends up looking bleh on a regular tank, but on a peninsula I’d be able to clean the 3 viewing sides easily
