[wulleput]

Hi my name is illya wulleput i am from Belgium and I'm new to this forum and have not even started with a saltwater aqaurium
I would like to have you're guys opinions on the aquarium I'm considering on buying
So I'm currently looking at getting a saltwater tank either the waterbox MARINE X Peninsula 3620
Or the red sea reefer peninsula 350
Does anybody have one of these tanks and what is your impressions of them
Both are about 50 gallons
For equipment I was gonna go with

• ReefLED 90 - 2 units & mounts
• ReefWave 45 - 2 units
• ReefMat 500
• REEFER DC Skimmer 600
• ReefRun DC Pump 7000
• ReefATO+ automatic top-up system

I would do Waterbox. I’ve seen a lot of Red Sea tanks springing leaks recently and can’t say I’ve seen many if any Waterbox tanks leaking.

Yeah. Red Sea apparently remedied the issues with new tank designs and better stands, but I'd go with the tried and true waterbox.
You may not see as many red sea leak posts as you'd expect. They tried to hide the issue for a while. Some forums let sponsors run the show.

I know that red sea had problems with the old generation of tanks but thougt they reinforced the new ones.
the main reason in looking at red sea is because that's the tanks they have in local lfs and I can actually see them with my own eyes for waterbox all i have is pictures online
