40 Breeder Peninsula Build

[turbofreak403]

Hey Guys, thinking of getting back into the reef hobby. a house move and some big changes have put it on the back burner.
Want to set this bad boy back up but not looking forward sump set up. I was wondering if you guys think the tank could be successful as a sumpless set up?

Any input would be great.

Thanks

Of course it can. Hang on back skimmer and/or fuge will keep your parameters in check

 

[turbofreak403]

What brand would you recommend. Will have to figure out some how to fit in the small end in that box area

 

[Chris A.]

Depends on size of compartment

 

[turbofreak403]

thinking of doing a glass holes overflow 700 with emergency drain setup and a eshopps rs75 sump. would this be a good combo?

I have a 2 and a hlf year old 55g sumpless tank. Just a little more maint.

So this happened. The wife and i brought up the stand and could not find a place we were happy with the size or layout of the peninsula style tank. So because of all the work in the stand we decided to adjust the stand to accommodate a Cube style AOI. Let me know what your think!

Thinking either the JBJ 45 Gallon or the Innovative Marine 40. Any other suggestions, I'm willing to do a sump if its the right idea.

Thanks for the input guys!

Nice craftsmanship, I have no idea on those tanks since this is also my first AIO

 

[turbofreak403]

Thanks, its not me though my friend is the mind behind it.
what tank did you choose? how do you like it so far?

 

[Chris A.]

Biocube 29
It's ok, space seams to be my biggest problem so far

 

[turbofreak403]

ah, yea i had a biocube 29 already i loved that tank. id like to try something new but the biocube does it right, the 32 looks fun

 

[turbofreak403]

I went with the innovative marine 40 gallon nuvo fusion. Yehaw!

Pictures , we want pictures lol

 

[turbofreak403]

waiting on the tank, once its in ill finish up the stand and dial in the customizations.
i picked up my salt and sand today

Little by little.

 

[Chris A.]

Cool
Cubes always look good

 

[turbofreak403]

She's almost ready to roll. Just figuring out what heater to run and I'll be adding water.

What do you guys think?

 

[Chris A.]

Very clean
I likes

 

[Chris A.]

A lot of light spilling out though

 

[turbofreak403]

Is there a problem with that? What is there to do to correct it? i figured the closer the light was to the water the better for the corals to grow.

 

[Chris A.]

The light spilling I mean is the light that's on your floor and not in the tank
