    I have a standard 55 gallon tank setup as a peninsula... talk about tight space... 5 plus years. My 1st tank. 20 gallon homemade sump and refugium.
    Started with the cheapest equipment possible on Amazon a d have been slowly replacing over the years as necessary. Just stepped up from cheap black box lights to ai primes...huge difference. Built a little control board. Want a controller...and a real peninsula aquarium or cube next. Always loved peninsula style tanks. Mine serves as kind of a half wall between rooms. Definitely nicer to look at from one side but eventually I'll fill it all out. It does allow you to buy alot of coral. My biggest mistake was not making my rock work more custom. I have a hanging garden style scape going on with just 3 big rocks touching the sand bed and everything else is elevated. Wish those rocks had holes for swim throughs as the ones i have arent always enough flow wise and i just plopped the 3 biggest rocks carrib sea sent me without any thought of breaking them, making a flat base, drilling holes or just buying the lifeshape rock they sell that does all that.
    Its a mixed reef. Mostly lps at this point. During the pandemic i lost a ton of acros and haven't got around to or had the heart/cash/stomach to replace them all. Nice zoa and euphillia gardens. Working on some gonis too.
    Its expensive and time consuming but i enjoy trying to keep these fragile creatures that are only found in the most exotic warm water reefs in the world thriving in a box of water in my apartment.

    Hi, first time viewing from England uk. I wanted to ask why you did not use any coral sand on the bottom of this particular tank? I always assumed you needed it for the base of marine tanks? But it really made me think differently about marine setup, and I'm going to be a new subscriber so able to view other setups. Excellent video.

    Glad you addressed the fin erosion on the tangs. That is one of the reasons I came out to Reefstock. I have a yellow that looks like absolute hell. Your tangs look 10 times better than mine. Sure would be nice to find out what actually causes this! How to prevent it and hopefully how to reverse it one day. It sucks as the yellow tang is one of my favorite fish in the trade.
