The Waterbox Frag 145.5 is a premier, large-format rimless aquarium designed specifically for coral enthusiasts and "fraggers" who prioritize surface area and shallow-water viewing. Measuring 1500 x 600 x 400 mm, this system provides a massive horizontal footprint while maintaining a shallow height, which allows for maximum light penetration and easy access to corals. Constructed from Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass, the Frag 145.5 offers a high-end, gallery-style aesthetic combined with a robust, reef-ready plumbing and filtration system.
The Frag series is built to provide the specialized environment needed for intense coral growth and high-clarity observation.
Shallow Depth Design: The 40 cm height is optimized for high-PAR lighting efficiency, ensuring that even the most demanding SPS corals receive the energy they need for growth and coloration.
Starphire Ultra-Clear™ Glass: Low-iron glass on all viewing panels provides 91% light transmittance, ensuring that coral colors are rendered with absolute accuracy.
Pre-Plumbed Overflow System: Features a sophisticated "Ready-to-Assemble" plumbing kit with a precision gate valve, allowing for near-silent operation and easy flow adjustment.
Professional Sump System: Includes a multi-chambered glass sump with integrated filter sock holders, a dedicated refugium section, and a constant-level skimmer chamber.
Premium UV-Coated Cabinet: The included white plywood cabinet is marine-grade and water-resistant, featuring soft-close doors and a sleek, handle-free design.

What makes the "Frag" version different from the standard "Reef" series? The Frag series is significantly shallower (40 cm vs 55-60 cm). This is ideal for top-down viewing and high-intensity lighting, which are essential for coral farmers and collectors.
Is the plumbing difficult to install? No. Waterbox utilizes a proprietary "no-glue" plumbing system. The pipes are pre-cut and use union couplings, allowing for a quick setup that can be easily disassembled for maintenance.
Does it include a return pump or lights? The Frag 145.5 is a "Reef-Ready" system, meaning it includes the tank, stand, sump, and plumbing. Return pumps, heaters, and lighting are sold separately to allow for full customization.
Is the cabinet made of MDF or Plywood? Waterbox cabinets for the Frag 145.5 are constructed from high-quality plywood with a protective UV coating, making them much more resistant to salt creep and humidity than standard furniture.
Waterbox Mesh Lid 1560: A custom-fitted mesh cover designed to keep "jumpy" fish inside while allowing maximum light and oxygen exchange.
Ecotech Marine Radion XR30: The industry-standard LED for high-output reef systems; two to three units are ideal for the 150 cm length of this tank.
Sicce Syncra SDC 9.0: A powerful, Wi-Fi-controllable return pump that perfectly matches the flow requirements of the 145.5 sump system.
