Gerry’s Waterbox 180.5

[gmdcdvm]

Yes! It finally arrived!!!!! Waterbox knows how to ship aquariums. On a palate with a wood box. Brought home the tank, stand, and sump. More to come as I start the build.

How long was the wait?

 

[gmdcdvm]

Well it was in stock and ordered 6 weeks ago. Shipping was supposedly due to the two hurricanes. Once it actually shipped it was about one week.

I am not sure. I can ask them unless someone else knows.

They're made of laminated plywood.

I’ll “lean” towards them being sealed to prevent moisture damage over time

Looks sleeker and easier to clean also. Plywood should hold up better than mdf.

Nice tank!!! I purchased the exact same one 6 months ago. I love it.

Do you have pics of your set up?

It made it home safe and sound, and most importantly on the stand. Finished the doors and set up the plumbing. Now leak testing it.

It was not as bad as I thought. With four dudes it went really well. Didn’t need the suction cups.

Looks like it’s made to fit that spot.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Nice if your house to accommodate that tank so well!
Enjoy it
Best fishes and happy reefing

Yes, frames nicely by the windows with 4.5in on either side to spare.

Looks like even the electrical outlet lined up.

Time to replace that outlet with a GFCI before that sump is not easily movable!
Edit: hard to tell in the pic, it might already be a GFCI. If so, good job!

Hahahahha. Yes!! Put that in right before the stand was set up.

We have water and circulation. Now just need to figure out this Apex and I can get the rest done.
