Steve Nguyen's Epic Waterbox!

Steve shares the most spectacular coral clips on social media that had me absolutely chomping at the bit to get to his place and film his tank. But Steve was a little reluctant....
At long last, he agreed and here is the video of one very spectacular waterbox!

[@RogueAquariums]

Steve’s tank has got to be the nicest 4ft tank I’ve ever seen. His detail is amazing. His corals are stunning. Thanks for the tour Sam. 🔥🔥

[@ParkersReef]

I reckon it’s gotta be up there yes!

[@jw3393]

Thanks Steve. Your tank is so beautiful it must be shared with the world.

[@ParkersReef]

It really is!

[@Reefkpr1]

For someone so new to the hobby, Steve is doing an amazing job!!! Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!

[@ParkersReef]

Couldn't agree more!

[@antoniofaustino2548]

Can't believe how many corals Steve can fit in a 4 footer. Beautiful tank! Great job! Thanks Sam!

[@ParkersReef]

I know right!? Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍🏻

[@jordanwilliams998]

Thanks Steve. From a fellow introvert. It's awesome to see him get excited and open up about something he is passionate about. Once you guys get rolling you can really see him relax and just enjoy chatting about his setup.

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks mate, yes, was really great to see Steven in his element - proud of what he has achieved!

[@bufdnenkk]

this tank and the corals are insane! Beautiful tank man!

[@ParkersReef]

He’s done pretty well hey?!

[@bufdnenkk]

@ParkersReef for sure! What's up Parker!

[@ParkersReef]

nothing much, how about yourself?

[@bufdnenkk]

[@ParkersReef]

@bufdnenkk doing good, thanks :)

[@UnimelbVCCNeurology]

I'm glad you finally talked him to letting you film - it's the best reef tank I think I've seen!

[@ParkersReef]

It's something pretty special!

[@burtminshew4812]

He's burning up elements as fast as I am in my Acro tank. Beautiful

[@ParkersReef]

It’s an amazing system!

[@BlackPedagogue]

One of the best 4 ft tanks I’ve ever seen. The coral is packed in. Love the acros and gonis. Parker you just got a new subscriber, great tank tours!

Does he use Radion Xr30 blue? Amazing jaw-dropping tank man!

[@ParkersReef]

Yes he does

[@jungleboys3220]

Awesome tank!

[@ParkersReef]

Absolutely

[@NRKA]

Loving the new watch Steve, 😛 tank alright to xx

[@ParkersReef]

Everything was on point 👌🏻

[@sunnygoold9449]

Epic tank! Amazing stuff Steve!

[@ParkersReef]

Pretty epic setup hey!

[@sunnygoold9449]

Epic for sure - interesting to see how many tangs in a 4 footer - 3 Zebrasomas though is better than 2... he must have put them in together (though the Hippo doesn't count). That acro you said stands out is the standout and IMO it's hard to beat a WD@@ParkersReef

[@timjohnson3913]

Amazing tank! Congrats Steve! Do you happen to know what the pH of the tank is?

[@ParkersReef]

Let me check for you!!

[@theniftywarlock]

Chefs kiss!

[@ParkersReef]

Agreed!!

[@zburnreefing]

Absolutely stunning! Any idea on what he feeds his gonis? Or just feeds the fish?!

[@ParkersReef]

Just feeds the fish I believe

[@monsterfishguy1]

stunning tank!

[@ParkersReef]

It sure is!!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Just a tip for Steve, to save cost running his Trident - check out ABC Reagents. You can use them in your Trident for less than half the price of the official reagents, and they ship overseas in powdered form. Been using ABC on my system with great success. Awesome tank. Awesome tour.

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks for the info!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@ParkersReef Absolutely. Tell all your friends who use that tester…there’s an accurate and way more cost effective way! The rates Neptune charges overseas can be bonkers…

[@ParkersReef]

@kalamazoo_reefer to be honest, I tell people off trident. There is no hardware support here and there are better options out there

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@ParkersReef I don’t blame you one bit. I’m fully kitted out with Neptune Systems, and honestly wish I’d gone Hydros or GHL….or nothing. I see less justification for a controller each day, given the amount of connectivity being built into new aquarium gear (and other companion smart/connected devices available on the market). I actively tell those who use the Neptune Trident to switch over to ABC Reagents because the price-gouging for official reagents is so extreme. I hate to see people have to swallow that bitter pill. I have heard stories of their lack of overseas support, and it seems particularly rough in Australia. But rest assured, very few of us here in America are giving Neptune support any glowing reviews either. 🤣

[@TheTrevor40]

Great tank! Reminds me of my Waterbox. 🤓

[@ParkersReef]

Wow you must have a nice waterbox too!!

[@TheTrevor40]

Yes, it is starting to fill in full of acros.

Stunning tank! Is there a link to Steve’s instagram?

[@ParkersReef]

No insta at this stage that I know of, but he does post some cool stuff on Aussie reefing facebook groups

[@orenepstein37]

Beautiful tank!! Wondering if he could explain how to run the trident manually???!! I’m like you and thought it could only run auto

[@ParkersReef]

Hopefully steve will comment, I have no idea myself 😅

[@TheIneption]

Wondering whats your schedule and how long yoy are running the 600 par for walt Disney?

[@ParkersReef]

yeah great question! I'll see if Steve responds, but I don't think it was anything unusual, probably around 10 hours full light

[@yourfavoritegarcon]

what model waterbox is this?

[@ParkersReef]

yeah great question, I am not entirely sure! Perhaps a Marine X 110.4?

[@BRanDon-nr7jk]

What mount is he using for the light bars?

[@ParkersReef]

great question, I think it may be a DIY mount?

I’m more into softies and lps but nothing can beat colonies of Acropora and their color variations
