I'm honored to be featured in an owner spotlight segment for Waterbox Aquarium's annual Fresh Friday livestream event on their Youtube channel. Livestream is August 1st. It also coincides with one of their biggest sale events during the year.

Congrats on the feature very cool. I’m thinking of getting back into reefing might pull the trigger on an x or ex 60.2 if the price is right.
 
Haha I meant where are you featured in their event? I wanted to see your work!
Oh, LOL. I wondered why you would ask that since it's shown on my profile.

They're doing the livestream different this year. Instead of topics being in separate 30 minute sections with breaks in between, it's just a single livestream, maybe a couple hours long, so I don't know exactly when the owner spotlight segment will come up. It will of course be available on their channel afterword, so I can post the timing in the video later. The scape featured in it is my first so I've been humbled by the attention it has recieved. My 2nd scape is cycling now, just a 7 gallon nano.

Typically, during this event and their Blue Friday event, most of their tanks and tank/stand combos are 15% off.
 
The interview was great! Interesting to know that it was your first tank. Had a similar path like yourself into the hobby and going down the rabbit hole of different website before find good resources like this forum and 2HA.

Ended up getting the water box mini25 with the stand during the discount. Also had no taxes in Ohio this week so that was great too!

Yeah, I really wish I'd known about this forum a year ago. I may not have made many choices differently but I might have moved forward with decisions more quickly.

Waterbox surprised me with a couple gift certificates after I did the interview so I put those toward a mini 16 and 25 yesterday. The 16 is already on it's way. The 25 is backordered but I'm in no rush. I'm remodeling the basement before I set up more scapes. Ever since the tariff stuff came up, a lot of the high-end low iron rimless tanks from China are backordered and in short supply, not just the ones from Waterbox.

Yah bummer about the back order. I am using the time to grow some of the TC plants that I got so they are ready for it.

Good coincidence, that we are finishing our basement as well. Are you adding anything specific to help with the aquascaping?

I'm upgrading my electric drop for the added load of the additional tanks and all the components and all have dedicated circuits for them. I'm also about to setup the large RODI reservoir and pump for easier water changes.
