Waterbox 20 cube .... feedback

[ninersrule1]

I've been out of things for a little, looking to make a little splash back into the hobby with a nano for my work cubicle.

Anyone have any feedback on the waterbox 20cube or recommendation for another similar tank ?

What LeD would you recommend for this tank, I don't have ability to hang it.... would like to keep mix of softies as well as some easy sps.

Appreciate any feedback.

Also if you know where I can get the waterbox now, looks like it's sold out most places which I assume is a good sign.

Thanks

that would be a good tank for the office. some things to consider for a tank at work are
1) how to do water changes
2) who's going to feed on long weekends or vacations
3) what happens if the power goes out while you're not there.
4) will anyone mess with the tank while you're not there
5) how would you cool the tank. Most businesses like to save on electricity and try not to run the A/C

Make sure you have get an ATO with a reservoir that'll last at least a week.

I would suggest easy corals so that you'll enjoy your tank more while at work.

Thanks for the input...water changes I plan to just do 20% every week or every other week with premixed saltwater . Shouldn't be more than 10 gals of saltwater in tank. Feeding for vacations I'd have coworkers to help, long weekends... I'll probably see if I can get an auto feeder . If power goes out it won't be for long I work at a hospital will be hard for people to mess with the tank our area is closed off by badge access. But I suppose it's possible. As for cooling, we are a hospital so temps are kept pretty low as is.... and I'd hope LED lighting will keep things cool as well?

Would the Prime HD be a good light option? Anything more affordable and adequate to keep lps and maybe one easy montipora cap... obviously with built in programming would be nice.

I think my last nano I had a solana and I did barebottom, trying to think if I want to do that again or go with sand.. leaning toward sand to help with biofiltration and help keep sand sifting inverts/fish etc
