- Brand New Aquascape + AI Prime 16HD Reef - Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 | Blue Reef Tank
This week, I am finally revealing the NEW aquascape for the Waterbox Peninsula 25. I wasn't too satisfied with my own aquascape, so I decided to get the guys from Living Reefs to help me with the design. The rockscape was shipped to my house in a well-packaged box. Even though the base cracked during shipping, I am really happy with the result.
Moreover, I am also setting up the light for this tank - AI Prime 16HD Reef! I have heard great reviews about this light and wanted to try it out for myself.
So far, I am really happy with the light and the tank is coming together really nicely. The cycling phase is now completed and I can't wait to start adding livestock to it!

Very unique scape dude! Thanks for sharing! :D
Thanks for watching Danny! You inspired me to create these contents 😁
I like the floating clif💯👍👍👍👍👍
What a beautiful aquascape! It's really inspiring.
Thank you 😊
Me encantas tus videos nunca pares!!
love this
Great update and awesome new scape 👏
Thanks Jacob!
The scape looks amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you Steve!
Love the new scape man. I totally understand not liking your first scape. Sometimes no matter how hard I try I don't like my scape sometimes just because I made it. But, then I see other people's scape I thinks it looks great even though they may think it's ugly. Your first scape was pretty amazing brother! The 2nd one is just insane!
Came across your channel, love the relaxing vids and your look on the lifestyle we call reefing 🐠 keep up the great work !
Thanks mate!
Awesome new scape
Thank you😎
Me gusta mucho el acuario y la roca esta muy bien gracias por el vídeo y gracias a ti también 👌
Glad you enjoyed the video Jose. Have a nice day 👍
I actually loved the old scape!
You should definitely add a flame angelfish that would look amazing
Awesome video as always. I remember i used expandable foam for a school science experiment. That stuff is messy lol
Tank and new set up looks awesome love the over hang. Excited to see what happens next. Would love to see some breeding Cardinals.
Thanks Taylor! Yeah it was pretty messy in the end but well worth it 😅
What amazing way to show how much love you have for your hobby. You do a great job doing what you do im glad i found your videos i hope one day i’ll be as good as you. Keep Reefing 🐠
I am sure you will Cristian! 💪 Thanks again for watching!
@@BlueReefTank just wondering.. have you had any issues with keeping bioballs in your thank (cube 20) even if you have corals in there? i heard that bioballs are useful with fish only and they could affect corals i’ll be glad i you could give me some tips
@@cristianmorales7827 I haven't had any issue with the bio balls to this day. My corals seem fine 🤨
@@BlueReefTank thank you for answering. i was just curious because idk if you have seen the waterbox youtube channel they just released a new video about how to set up a cube 20 and they did mention that it is not recommended to use bioballs when having corals in your tank..
Your rock is so good!
Can't wait to see the % of each colour you use for the AI prime.
A Helfrich’s Firefish would look amazing in there
Hey Nikolas, thanks for the suggestion!
wow that looks so nice!!
I would love to see a longnose hawkfish (Oxycirrhites typus) house that tank! It's a beautiful fish with great personality:) they can be a little grumpy against other fish but you seem to be very good at managing such behaviour. And you also seem to keep your fish well fed so any eventual aggression against corals will most likely not be a problem at all.
The sailfin blenny (Salarias fasciatus) is just beautiful, interesting and cute. It is I believe pretty easy to care for and fairly cheap. I love blennys.
A shrimp and shrimp-goby symbiosis would be awesome too:P
(sorry for terrible English...
I'm Swedish...
so hi from the other side of the planet haha)
Hello from Australia 👋 Love the fish choices!! And you have a pretty good english mate 😁
I think algae-blenny, sixlined wrasse, cleaner shrimp and some zoa 😍
FIRE FISH and for the bottom TWIN SPOT GOBY
👍👍👍
glad I bought stock in super glue before you fixed it. I'm gonna retire now.
Dolpin fish 🤟
I’ve decided to use this tank for dwarf seahorses. Looks good mate. Don’t worry about scaping! I just put rock in and let nature scape it lol
you're not wrong there. Once you put corals etc in the tank, you can't really see the original scape anyway haha
Great vid as always. Love the new scape. Also liked the way you went about fixing the broken bit.
May i ask, how many tanks do you have??
Thanks mate 😁 I currently have 3 tanks + 1 qt tank
Terrific scape, I had a unique scape built for my water box 20. I am on month five now and I am seeing some spots of coraline.
Well done! I can't wait for the coraline to cover the rock
@@BlueReefTank Its been painful, the ugly stage is over now, I hope!
Blue Reef Tank: What fish would you like to see in this tank?
Me: Dolphin.
🐬🐬🐬
Hi there. I've been following your channel and watch consistently. Thanks for creating great content. What kind of aquarium stand do you use if you don't mind me asking?
Love your videos and tank looks awesome. If you don't mind sharing,what is your light schedule and intensity?
Definitely take out the small rocks at the end. The first tiny one you put looked great. The 2, 3, 4, hard to watch.
Pair of clown fish maybe a Diamond goby
😁👍
Hello, congratulations, beautiful aquarium and the new aquascape is great,,, where did you buy it? and I have looked in the description of the video and I can't find which osmosis equipment you use
Great video! How long did it took to cycle? I am getting my waterbox 25 tomorrow. Thanks....
Love the scape, wear did or who did you have build it??
The new aquascape was Fantastic, may I know where can I buy it, thank you, I am planning buy a water box mini 25 soon.
Your aquascape looks really cool. Thumbs up.
I am concerned that if there is good coral growth, it will tip over at some point.
How do you prevent that?
Hopefully that will never happen haha I will try to be gentle when sticking corals on the rock I guess 😅
New rock is Dope !!Black storm clown fish will look nice, I’m picking up this tank on Monday but I’m having a hard time finding a stand for it what do you have your 25 sitting on?
I love this scape! 100x better than my own scape 😅 Congrats on your new tank! I had mine sitting on Ikea table that I reinforced with a couple more legs. I don't want to recommend it to anyone as they're not rated for the tank
I would say a pair of dragonets or a pair of panda goby.
🤫🤫🤫
Love the new scape man, where did u buy it from? I searched living reef only one i found is in Orlando and they said they don't ship out of state. Thanks
Thanks mate! Living Reefs is an Australian based company so I don't think they will ship to the US (at least for now). Hope you can find someone locally that can make some scape for you :)
i think a aurora goby or yasha goby will be nice in this tank
Oh yes, that would be so cool in here! Agreed!
Love this idea but Yasha goby are way too expensive (over $2.5k AUD) here in Australia 😢
@@BlueReefTank wow! They are less than € 50 here (
@@DannysAquariums Omg the price difference is real! You should send some down to me haha.
@@BlueReefTank && me too 🤣🙌🏽📬
Very nice scape, would give me anxiety though.
Let's hope it holds up😁
That scape is sweet is that something anyone can buy or is it something that you ordered custom I'd love to have something like that for my tank
Hi Tony, I paid someone to create this scape for me as I am not a very "art" person haha
How long did it take for this tank to be fully cycled? Did you have to add anything else to the tank throughout the process before it was fully cycled other than what you added at initial setup? Very new to the hobby so I appreciate the insight!
I think it took roughly 2-3 weeks for it to be fully cycled. I am just following dr.Tim's guide and nothing else :)
Stunning tank! actually inspired me to go out and buy one to go in my home office. I am unable to find the site where you have purchased your scape from could I please have a link?
Also if you're after any forest fire anemone's let me know. Will happily donate one for free. I am on the gold coast and could easily post one to you.
Hey mate, you can get in touch with them via Facebook :) facebook.com/Livingreefsaquariums
Oh are you serious?? I have been holding back getting a forest fire anemone because they are so expensive! Would love to have one for my nemos!
@@BlueReefTank Yeah I have lots in my tank I am currently up to 5 or 6 at the moment. One is stinging the base of one of my acros so just waiting for a service and I will remove them.
@@BlueReefTank Yeah I have heaps. One is stinging my acros base at the moment. I am simply waiting for my Waterbox P25 to arrive and then I will start the cycle on that and start to move them over as they become lose or when I do my next major service on the larger tank and drain enough water to be able to remove the rockwork with them on it.
How does it not tip over ? Is the base that strong?
Would you say 1 would do good on a 29 gallon??
I think you could have built that scape yourself, you have the right kind of rocks, you just need a base rock and the cut or shelf rock. The super glue and aragonite rock sand are easily put together and taken apart if you want to stop and change it. It is just building a tree really, if you don’t like a branch, you take it off and if you want a branch, you add one on.
Thanks for the advice Garry! I'll try to build one myself in the future👌
:)
Love the aquascape, will they sell me one I have the same tank. Thanks
What stand do you have this on?
what's your feedback after a few months about the AI prime 16 on the PM20 ?
How much did that whole setup cost?
I will make a video about that one day 🙃💸
Did you pour the salt in to the water in the tank instead of pre mixing?
I only do that when there's no livestock in the tank 🙂
@@BlueReefTank I may try that! I have a new tank I’m working on getting setup and I was a bit worried about trying to get all the water pre mixed.
@@zXMOSZXz Good luck with the new tank mate! I just wanted to make sure that people don't mix the salt in the tank when there's livestock 😅
Do water box systems never come with a lid? Do you plan on making your own?
Yeah they don't come with lid and I am planning to make a video about how to make the lid 🙂
Is it okay to change the entire aquascape while cycling?
I wouldn't recommend it because the bacteria usually sticks to surface like rocks, sand, glass etc. so if you took out the rock, it will slow down the cycle.
Can you post a link for the rock scape site?
Hey mate, you can get in touch with them via Facebook :) facebook.com/Livingreefsaquariums
Is there a website for living reef? Can't seem to find it
Hey Mike, you can get in touch with them via Facebook :D facebook.com/Livingreefsaquariums
Is there a link for where u got the aquascape
Hey mate, you can get in touch with them via Facebook facebook.com/Livingreefsaquariums
u still have forktail blenny?
what you feed your forktail blenny?
Yes, I still have him in my WB 20 - I feed him a range of food (frozen food, white worms and pellets). He basically eats anything.
No bad this scape , now you have three nano tanks ?
It looks like hes just rescaping his old peninsula 25, could be wrong tho
Deez Nuts is right! I only have three nano tanks and I was just replacing my old scape with the new one 😁
How long did it take to cycle?
This tank took 31 days to fully cycle.
Where can I order the aqua scape from ?
what will be your settings for the AI Prime?☀️
I'll cover that in future videos 😁
How can I get a custom rock like yours made for my 36 gallon Fluval all in one?
Hey Isaiah, where are you based at?
I’m in USA Louisiana
Where did you get this aquascape
I got them from Living Reefs. You can find them on facebook page :)
Thanks
Did you just use any super glue for the rock? Is it safe for fish
I would say that yes but to be sure, try to get the one from your LFS that's specifically for reef tank. I know that BRS sells them
Please add a new peanut
🤫🤫🤫
Wow so much waste to ship rocks. That makes me a bit sad although the Scape looks nice!
I totally agree with you about the packaging and the scape👍
They must have ran out of packing peanuts lol. And with all that effort is still broke!
😁
Your aquascape was beautiful before, no one will be perfectly happy with something they did themselves because they think off all the errors, when you buy something from someone else you don't see the errors and think it's better than what you can create. All in all just makes or buy what makes you happy. Also please for the love of God or who ever you call your maker put some support under that bridge 🙏
Well said! 🙌
Clowns
That scape is doomed, it will collapse at some point with just super glue.
