I purchased a 230.6 in 2017 . Was told the stand was made of marine ply & had a water proof coating on it . Now the stand is showing signs of swelling in some areas . Turns out it’s MDF sheeting , not ply at all . Not happy at all 👎

Dear Waterbox Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’m reaching out regarding an issue I’ve encountered with my Waterbox aquarium. I understand that ultra-low iron glass is softer than standard glass and may be more prone to scratching. However, I’ve noticed visible scratches occurring from extremely light and routine use — for example, simply repositioning a plastic frag rack — with no abrasive materials or mishandling involved.
I was informed that scratches are considered normal wear and tear, but after reviewing your warranty terms, I could not find any mention of scratches being excluded from coverage. In fact, your warranty clearly states that it covers defects in materials and workmanship, and excludes only damage due to misuse, mishandling, neglect, or unauthorized repairs. None of these apply in my case.
Given the minimal contact that led to these scratches, I’m concerned there may be an issue with the glass quality or durability in this particular unit. This seems less like typical wear and more like a potential material issue.
I would greatly appreciate it if this matter could be escalated for further review. I’m also happy to provide photographs or videos to support my case if helpful.
Thank you in advance for your time and support. I look forward to hearing from you.

It’s a shame to have to write a bad review for a company, however, Waterbox doesn’t back the products they sell. I purchased two tanks from them along with a bunch of supporting equipment. Out of the box one of my AI Hydra 32s did not work and Waterbox refused to address it, I had to contact AI directly and pay for shipping to get the light replaced.
I don’t know of a retailer where you buy goods and that turn out to be defective and they tell you tough luck, find the manufacturer and take care of it with them.

I ordered a waterbox clear 4820. Shipped within 2 weeks, build quality is outstanding. Best aquarium builders on the market.
