Beautiful tank.

Added my first Acropora (Bali green slimer and ORA red planet) yesterday and had my Kessil 360WE die the same day. Switched to the cheapy T5 system and am super impressed with it. Everything loves the T5s except for the goniopora, so might be placing him on the sandbed soon.

Here's a side shot. The little cave there will eventually be for a BTA.

I love the peninsula style. More room for corals and nobody hides.

Agreed, I love my 14G Penninsula. When I get a bigger tank, I plan to use it to separate my living and dining spaces.

Love this tank!

Running this ultra cheap T5 unit from Amazon "Hydrofarm Agrobrite FLT44 T5 Fluorescent Grow Light System, 4 Feet, 4 Tube." Only using three bulbs since the light is 12" longer and 1.5" wider than the tank itself. 1 ATI Coral Plus HO 54W and 2 crappy white stock bulbs. Will be replacing one and/or both with more ATI bulbs shortly.

Ignore my crappy linoleum floor, in the middle of replacing it.

Here's a few full tank shots of my favorite side.
