RedSea Max Nano Peninsula Install Part 1

Fancy setting up a ‪@Redseafish‬ nano max peninsula? Well thats what we did recently at at AAC …time to strip down our old nano max and replace it with the neweer larger model .
So sit back and watch whilst we failed to read the instructions and make a ‘pigs ear of it’ 😂
Always read the instructions!

I love this peninsula, can’t believe I’m going to say this but…we might have to have one at home ❤ xx

[@brian-te4xs]

I have the Peninsula also. I just found your channel and look forward to your posts.

Great video Paul. Would never of thought to epoxy the rock to the glass. Great tip.

[@aactv3223]

Don’t go mad with the putty if doing so , but the first foot 🦶 of the rock to stop the structure from sounding helps and you will be able to scrape that one piece off if need be . Just helps secure things 👍🏼

[@jaysrealreefuk]

Absolutely love this tank, wish it was available when I bought mine. Really enjoyed this video AAC. Can't wait to see what you do with it. 👍

[@aactv3223]

Thanks man x part 2 - soon

[@fishpalace]

lovely video Paul and really insightful on what you need to set up this tank or any other reef tank. Nano’s seem to be the way forward for now and I am loving this tank and agree really well made and a big step up from the gen 1 tanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’s lovely mate .well pleased .

Great video.

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@billhudson2196]

Where did you squeeze the heater into the rear sump?

[@aactv3223]

Hi Bill , between the skimmer and the ATO 👍🏼

[@chris6794]

You put putty under the rock where it met the glass - was there silicone or glue there as well or was it just the rock puddling from a vat?

[@aactv3223]

Nah I just glued the first rock to stop it slipping to the base - I’ll regret that in another 6 years . The water was from the porosity of the rock dribbling …

Hi Looks great guys..! what lighting schedule are you running im looking to tweak mine liked the looked of yours Andy.? tia

[@aactv3223]

Hi Andy( Brett) We just shortened a standard program to keep within a 10 hour cycle , shifted the white to more or less the start of the day which runs for about 4 hours …then over to the blues mostly -no moonlight .

[@DoPlusSee]

I picked up one of these a week or so and have it cycling, would you say I should run the skimmer for a week like you suggest? Its been off.

[@aactv3223]

You can run in the skimmer - just don’t let it actually skim until you have completed maturation . The level control should be set low

[@brian-te4xs]

My peninsula has been running for a month now and I just turned the skimmer on basically after the tank cycled.

[@aactv3223]

That will be fine . It’s all about the starting process and whether the choice was to use dead rock and sand and a maturation program, as opposed to using liverock and live sand and partially mature water in terms of Turing a skimmer on or leaving it off . There’s no single right way but it sounds like your doing fine . Part 2 conning soon . All the best

[@AmyLouiseee12345]

Hello! Sorry if this is a stupid question, does it come with a heater?? If not, what do you recommend? I'm doing my research at the moment on the best tank to get!

[@aactv3223]

We added a 100watt heater ( that’s the only thing they don’t come with ) . Later on you might want to consider an extra flow pump as your garden grows , but not needed at first 👍🏼 .

[@aactv3223]

@AmyLouiseee12345 if your local by all means pop by and see the peninsular if you wish .

[@wayneranns4048]

Hi great video i have just ordered a peninsula thay do look great. What pump to you use in it and where did you put it ?

[@aactv3223]

Hi 👋 , thank you -yes great choice ! We still love the tank very much so and it has developed well in the following episodes . I can’t remember the actual model of extra circulation pump I added the latest smallest jecod flow pump MOW4 I think 🤔…but I’m considering a Redsea Reefwave 25 vertically or at least trying one to see if it’s not to powerful as the tank has now really grown out.

[@wayneranns4048]

@aactv3223 1 one question what heater have you got in there ? Thanks again

[@aactv3223]

@@wayneranns4048 just a simple Sera 100watt 👍🏼but it is a warm room . Ambient from temp 20-24c

[@aljewseera9288]

great video but PLEASE invest in a gimbal to steady the footage. The constant movement gave me a headache and detracted from what is an otherwise educational video

[@aactv3223]

Agreed at times - I hear you , I’m only a newbie but I sort of favoured the not too polished look too if you understand what I mean . But hey 👋 I used a tripod for all of about 20 seconds in the follow up 😂 I’m editing now . Thanks 🙏🏻 for watching and I appreciate the comments . Paul aac
