“the glass seems more suitable to reef system”

“ive had a lot of success with my Waterbox Cube 20 so far, i totally recommend it”
“My biggest issue at the moment is that I'm experiencing quite a loud buzz noise with the current pump (a Sicce Syncra Silent Water Pump 1.0). I feel this isn't acceptable (pretty disappointed really) and am pretty desperate to solve this issue”
“Had it set up for two weeks and heard the tank crack and watched the crack grow from the outside of the tank”

Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I have the cube20 and when I tried to upgrade my return pump the flow into the back of the tank couldn’t keep up. Went back to the stock pump and added a random flow generator to it instead.”
“I haven't gotten anything more than some green spot algae on the glass here, which is amazing. The fish are getting bigger and look to be doing great.”
“The pump that came with it is a little noisy so going to get a Sicce 1.0 pump and see if it is quieter.”
