Waterbox 20 Cube | Nano Reef Aquarium (Our First Saltwater Tank!)

In today's video, we set up our very first saltwater aquarium, a Waterbox 20 Cube. This will be a nano reef build, and we can't wait to get it going!

We walked through all of the equipment and setup of this saltwater tank. Quinn went higher end on some of the products used. There are definitely ways of going cheaper with a saltwater tank, but he wanted to splurge on some quality products with this one.

Stay tuned for an update on this Waterbox 20 Cube, as we'll be setting up a refugium and adding corals/fish to this system once the tank is cycled.

Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next week!

Yes!! I raised freshwater fish professionally in Sweden before moving to America and then turned saltwater and have never looked careful! You picked a really nice setup....have fun!

Best video I’ve see about the water box 20!

[juscruzen]

Nice video bud! I like that water box and accessories you went with! Beautiful.

Setting up a new reef tank, regardless of size, is so exciting. Putting research & knowledge to the test to create an eco-system is so satisfying 👍

I just stumbled upon your channel and was quite taken aback when you filmed the front of the store... where I also shop! Ha!

This video came right on time! Setting up my first salt water tank not sure of the gallons yet but anywhere from 75-125. My husband is not into the hobby so it’s just me going from freshwater to saltwater.

You followed me a while back when I was doing terrarium and freshwater, I have been in the saltwater hobby for about 7 months after studying for like 12 months! I love that you guys are doing saltwater now, I’ve gotta do an update walking thru my sumped 40 breeder setup!

It looks beautiful! I'm really interested in trying one. Not planning on having any fish but I'd love to have some decorations. Just need to do some research first because I don't really have any knowledge about these things.

Top Video at the right time. 👍 Since a long time i am thinking of setting up my first little saltwater tank. 😃

The one thing I recommend is switching out that refractometer for a Hanna salinity checker. Makes life so much easier and no guessing

[amtravelsaus]

That looks totally neat ! to see you guys doing saltwater now & can't wait to see what you stock it with !!!🤙

Awesome video, I actually have a 125 mixed reef tank, but travel for work and tired of as much maintenance lol looking to purchase the 20 cube

I grew up near the ocean, sadly I had to move away when I was 14. Every time I go to the beach/scuba diving reminds me of when I was little. Building my first reef tank has been a dream, having that little piece of the ocean at home.
Great video!

Nice setup. I just jumped right in to a saltwater tank myself. Quinn you should switch to Stagg so you can teach my kids 😁 I’ll help you move the tanks lol

[fishdiversityph]

I can't wait for the next update video 🙏

Tank looks great. You are definitely doing it right! You may want to move the skimmer into the second chamber. I feel like it will get clogged up easily in the sock. You will probably have to change air blocks less too. Along for the ride!

Me too i have 3 freshwater tanks for 5 years and i just set up a saltwater tank like 2 weeks ago cause it takes almost 1 month for the water to get rigth but its looking nice coral growing fast and fish big and healthy

I just got my first Nano saltwater tank as well! I got a 10 gallon.🔥
