RVANANO's 300 peninsula reef build

[slgcmg]

I've got to ask, that goniopora looks great in your old tank. How long did you have it?

Beautiful house!

My friend who is building the stand frame just sent this photo and said it should be done this weekend!!

Exciting!

That looks like a great idea for the tank setup. I would setup some boxes or obstructions for a few days where you want it to go and just see if it works for the flow of the house. I saw a couple new houses I was looking at that had a similar spot I was thinking for a tank, between the living and dinning area. Can't wait to see how yours comes out.

Also, that tank is almost as big as the car. Wow.

Good luck with the new build!
The old was beautiful and i can't wait to admire this one too brandon.
Nice tank and stand.

So you pulled the corner overflows and installed the single end bean animal? am I seeing that right?

Nice start to the build too.

Is that a custom built tank?

keep us updated.

Thanks so much, everyone!! It was a standard 300 but the LFS removed the corner overflows and built the custom single bean animal box for a peninsula style tank. They also built that sump using a 5 ft 120.

I had that jewel goni for about a year when I got rid of the tank. It was as healthy as can be.

That thing is a monster! What kind of skin will it have?

Can't wait to see how this turns out. I would love to do the same thing in my next house. Nice looking cabby in the garage too! Makes me miss mine.

Beautiful Brandon!!! The tank is amazing!!! That has to be the new Novafire glass. I can't even see it!!!!

The new stand will be gray stained maple like our island. This is the look I am going for.

The area to the right will be a floor to ceiling doors and will house the plumbing/electrical etc. The tank is 6' and the stand is 7'-6" so that it will have 5- 18" doors on each side and 2- 18" doors on each side.

Cant wait to see this finished., your 120 was gorgeous.

 

[hoooop54]

This looks great! I can't wait to see the design!

 

[RVANANO]

Thanks, everyone!!

2- 18" doors on each end I meant :lol: Dang Ruthless Rye's...

I wanted to go with the SRO 5000 external pump skimmer but the space is limited. Now looking at this DCS-3000 int. Size is perfect. Anyone have input on that one?
