WaterBox Platinum REEF 70.2 – The Ultimate Rimless Reef System

The WaterBox Platinum REEF 70.2 represents the pinnacle of medium-sized reef aquarium design. Measuring 600 x 600 x 550 mm, this "Cube" style system provides a deep front-to-back dimension that is highly coveted by aquascapers for creating realistic reef slopes and caves. Built with Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass and featuring a professional-grade glass sump, the REEF 70.2 is a "Reef-Ready" masterpiece that combines high-volume filtration with a minimalist, luxury aesthetic.

Professional Engineering & Deep-Dimension Design

The Platinum REEF 70.2 is designed to house a complete marine ecosystem while keeping all equipment organized and silent within the cabinet.

Starphire Ultra-Clear™ Glass: Constructed with 10 mm low-iron glass on all viewing panels, providing a 91% transmittance rate for undistorted color and clarity.
Dual-Filter Sock Chamber: The professional glass sump features two 100 mm filter sock silencers, ensuring maximum mechanical filtration while significantly reducing splashing noise.
Precision Gate Valve Plumbing: Includes a complete, pre-assembled "no-glue" plumbing kit with a heavy-duty gate valve, allowing you to fine-tune the drain for 100% silent operation.
Integrated Refugium Section: The sump is designed with a removable baffle, allowing you to easily create a dedicated refugium for macroalgae to assist in natural nutrient export.
Luxury Plywood Cabinet: The 900 mm tall black cabinet is made from UV-coated, water-resistant plywood and features "push-to-open" doors for a clean, handle-free look.

H2: FAQ Section: Common Questions

How does the plumbing work?

The system uses a "Bean Animal" style overflow design. It features a main drain, a secondary drain, and an emergency overflow. This design is widely considered the safest and quietest plumbing method in the hobby.
Is the cabinet pre-assembled?

WaterBox cabinets generally require assembly. They are shipped flat-packed with high-quality cam-lock fasteners and professional instructions to ensure a perfectly level and sturdy foundation for the glass.
Can the sump hold a large protein skimmer?

Yes. The REEF 70.2 sump is generously sized. The dedicated skimmer chamber is approximately 325 x 310 mm, which fits most mid-to-high capacity DC protein skimmers.
Does it come with a return pump?

No. Like the rest of the Platinum series, the return pump and lighting are sold separately. This allows you to choose equipment based on whether you plan to keep low-flow soft corals or high-flow SPS corals.
