4 Reasons You SHOULD Get A Red Sea Peninsula Against A Wall

[@LightSearch]

I think the elephants in the room are the birds.

[@ReefDork]

Touché sir 🤣

[@marbles351]

Completely agree with all your points, I personally love the “see through” look, To me it looks as if the fish are almost floating in the room and not in water! Great video

[@ReefDork]

Absolutely agree 😁

[@xaviershen3831]

So meaningful

[@marya783]

I really want a peninsula tank the end view is fantastic

[@Ravan_Caw]

Love Reef Tank Aquascape Colin does some fantastic scrapes. So anyone in the UK should definitely look them up if there after anything special.

[@tompage8674]

Have you considered covering the rear glass with frosted window film? I use it in my freshwater tank.

[@ReefDork]

No, the whole point of setting up this way was the extra brightness it gives. I don't even see the wall behind it now

[@tompage8674]

@@ReefDork makes sense. Btw new coral store for you to motorbike to: polypbox in London. You can book to go and hand pick at their warehouse. Its a bit of an industrial set up but they have a good selection!

Hi I also have a fluval 13.5 gallon that is essentially a smaller peninsula tank as the filter is on the short end. I do have it against a wall but I do have a backing on it to cut natural light from coming through the back as it's near a window.

[@johnson4523]

Can you talk about the technical drawbacks to a peninsula tank, aside from the visual in the next vid? Considering this as an upgrade in the future

[@ReefDork]

Absolutely - there are practical and technical compromises. I'll cover it in detail 🤓

[@jessicabrown8158]

@@ReefDork so looking forward to that video. That's the only thing putting me off

[@anannyosamayel1350]

aaron and you both have a taste for the "invisible tank" look. I really love the see through look, and i really want my next tank to be a peninsula tank against a wall. However im thinking it will be a huge leap from the norm( cuz i really havent seen many people do it). Im scared that if i get a peninsula against and dont like it, i would be kicking myself. the videos that you put out are more than enough in convincing me to get this set up. Im simply hesitant because how uncommon it is

[@ReefDork]

I'm surprised it's not more common - the see through look kicks ass 😁

[@speacci]

Are your power heads Neptune WAVs? And if so, what’s your program/flow pattern and at what percent of its performance?

[@ReefDork]

No, I have 2x VorTech MP40s. I run them at 80% for what it's worth. I'd like more flow...

[@speacci]

@@ReefDork Ok great, thanks for the info man. I was concerned with how much flow is too much for the fish. *new to this* and the WAVs are really powerful. I have the same tank as you. Keep up the good work!

[@WilSantiagoReefing]

I prefer the back panel to be blacked out. Dont like seeing my wall , wires, etc. I think blacked out makes the corals and fish pop way more.

[@youronlycow]

You also end up seeing your own reflection and camera if you’re taking pictures. It’s really annoying to me..

[@steevareno2002]

how do you scrape the back glass?

[@ReefDork]

Long arms

[@neild8658]

Same question why would you have a peninsula against a wall? And that wall paper is fantastic as a backdrop cause we see swallows under water. Dont try and justify the fact that you messed up get a black background please

[@Dawg99999]

no bro ..dont work

[@captivebredcanada]

Your reef is beautiful but a peninsula it is not. If you can’t view it from 3 sides it’s not a peninsula.

[@ReefDork]

True that. I like to think of my tank as being a peninsula like Norway 😁
