    Fantastic video Kaity......I like your honest in-depth review of both pro/con of the Waterbox. This is one of the better reviews I've seen. Nice to see you have African Cichlids, exactly what I intend to have in my Waterbox.
    I just purchased the 100.3 Reef as I wanted a sump filtration and will be setting it up next month. Thanks, appreciate the video very much.

    Thanks Katy. I have Haps and Peacocks. I am considering ordering this tank. They are on sale. I have watched many of your videos and I want to thank you so much for the helpful tips. I need a big tank yesterday. Something funny happened. On a 5 fish order for my 75 gallon I accidentally clicked on Jumbo on an insignis hap. He came in 9and 1/2 inches and 4 inches tall. He's the boss and I'm fast shopping bigger tanks . My Malwalwi gar my bucco no no and others are growing so fast I almost want to cut their good food vitamins and garlic. Just kidding I would never. Hope you see this I'm a fan of your work and you are great with your fish!! Love it!

    I almost purchased a smaller cheaper tank but I have been inspired by your waterbox set-up and have decided to go this way also . Unfortunately now I'll have to be super patient because I won't have room for it until the extension on my house happens early next year. Going to be a tough waiting 😬

      @@AmeXcy when I'm refilling the tank the heaters are turned off because they aren't submerged enough. So in Winter I try to match the water from the tap to the tank water by putting the tap on warm water. Then as soon as the water is high enough I turn both of the heaters on. In Summer the water out of the tap is 28 degrees already, so I can just leave it on cold water. It's a lot better on the electricity bill in Summer!
