    man, your peninsula tank has always been a huge inspiration to my personal tank with both the aquascaping, and the coral placements, sad day when you break it down. Excited to see what you do next.

    I just switched from three Hydra 32s to two AI Blades (one grow one glow) on my 120 and I have been super happy with the performance and spectrum. It’s as close to a T5/LED hybrid fixture that I have seen without the complexity and maintenance. They really strike a perfect balance between blended light with good shimmer and the spectrum is spot on. My corals have adjusted to them very well and I definitely recommend them for your next build.

    @sgbbco3981 Рік тому

    I'm excited to see more tanks lit with the AI Blades also. I am excited to see how they work by themselves to keep a reef tank flourishing or if they are best left for supplemental lighting. Thanks for another fun video. Great things are coming for that tank!

    I love listening because I'm new and learning from everything you have to say. Still currently setting up my tank, that peninsula is pretty sick if I stick with the hobby I'll probably go with one in the future.

    Use 2 blades a coral grow and a coral glow. I put a coral grow on my wife's 37 gallon seahorse tank and its wonderful! No dark spots, it covers the whole tank front to back in light like your outside without the sun making a hot spot. hope to see you at Aquashella Dallas!

  • @chrislovesky5402
    @chrislovesky5402 Рік тому +2

    Your display tanks are always the best imo... too many advanced reefers seem to get so obsessed/fixated on sps that their displays neglect the softies and lps that got a lot of people into the hobby. Plus there's nothing like a flowy mixed reef 😂 That being said, would be interesting to see what you do with an acro/sps dominated tank 🤔

  • @Reefgrrl
    @Reefgrrl Рік тому +1

    I got my very first hammer coral from you in 2016 and it grew to melon size until it got wiped out when I (accidentally) poisoned my tank. That atomic bomb is a stunner. I hope you can save the rest of it. 🤞🏻 Also, my tank is 60x60 - does that count as a peninsula? 😂 It has its own room and is essentially three, 5-foot viewing panes. I love that you have to walk around it to see it all, and can’t see everything from one spot. 👍🏻

  • @artistic_spaz3724
    @artistic_spaz3724 Рік тому

    Omg you're so truth. They have ears, when I always said I like is growing nice, look awesome they die. Actually last time I was contemplating my tank on my birthday and the next day everything dead and white out and the water white like milk. Lost 10K in corals and the love of 5 years of work.

    Hey off the main topic … what are the two display tanks in the store ? Not the frag ones the AIO ones (2 I believe) my 72 bow is going to give out shortly, the have snapped when the stand stared to delaminate. I’ve seen those tanks so many times, they are very nice and tempting looking for size etc
    Thank you so much for your time 😊

  • @rajgill7576

  • @areyouarobotz

    The problem with peninsula tanks is that they require very specific layout and most people's homes don't accommodate for that.

    I just bought a beautiful rainbow dynamite chalice from you guys and it is definitely deserving of the name. Losing a favourite coral is devestating :(. Please update on the frag because I got a couple torches that have around the same skeleton on the new heads and think it's not ready yet to frag.

    I'm with you on Peninsulas. Honestly it's my favorite tank layout and as someone who doesn't want the hassle of a large system witha sump, they're even more attractive as an AIO. I own 2.

  • @JakeDogg-RIP
    @JakeDogg-RIP Рік тому

    Fingers crossed for that hammer March! 😍 ur right tho, every coral store seems to put ultra rainbow in front of every coral with more than 2 colours on it, and then double the price too, I like having multiple corals each with their own colour but next to each other, like instead of buying a rainbow hammer, buy 3 hammers and place them next to each other 😉👌🥰
    Will the new tanks (I assume will be reef Casa tanks) be all in one tanks but bigger size like the redsea reefer, or are u designing reef casa tanks with overflow and a sump? If u do an overflow and a sump u could put the overflow in the corner so it can be turned as a peninsula or flat against the wall 😉👌👊🥰🍻 give digz a pat for me, I give him permission to hump the customers if they don’t bring him treats 🥰❤️😂

  • @saltwaterandlime
    @saltwaterandlime Рік тому

    I absolutely love the look of a peninsula tank, but there just isn't a practical space in my house to have one. I think if I ever designed and built my own house I would put in a space for one, but otherwise I think most people just don't have the right house layout for me

  • @garrycole9187
