Best Peninsula Tank

[ReeferJay86]

I need y’all’s help. I’m looking into purchasing a peninsula tank, but can’t decide on who to go with. I have a 4300$ budget just would like some pro and cons on with your tank experience. Please no bashing, and be respectful. This is just simply something I can look at to help me make a final decision. Thank you everyone for any advice and suggestions.

I too will be getting a penninsula, but saw a drop-off version by a local well established manufacturer. Then I got to thinking it wasn't quite large enough, so am going down the route of having something custom built.
My first challenge was finding someone willing to make a drop-off for me, but I think I have someone now.
So, have you considered anything custom and what sort of size are you looking for?

Would you post some pics or link to your build thread please. I know the drop-ofd dictates a slightly different approach to the aquascape, but I am still interested in seeing peninsula setups in general.

Its a toss up between the mediterranean sea and the gulf of mexico. Im a big great white guy so id say gulf of mexico, it basically a nursery for baby great whites. Hope this answers your question.

No build thread, ya see I’m a private person, but here is a picture from maybe 4 months ago. You can achieve this look with your budget purchasing a Redsea tank. Mine is a custom build. Maybe a custom build was the way to go 5 years ago, but not now. Good luck!

Go with at least 30" on width....36" is even better.
There are a few pre-made tanks with 30". Planet Aq. and Crystal dynamics are two I know of.

It's more likely you'll have to go custom.

Wow , what are the dimensions on this beauty? That really is a nice tank. This is my goal once I get it up and running.

I saw this one for sale, too bad it’s to far for me to pick up. Wish he would ship, I’d definitely jump on that.

 

[ReeferJay86]

I wonder, is there just a thread for peninsula tanks only . From nano to custom built.

Mine is a crystal dynamics, but I’m hearing their larger tanks are having issues.

I heard of Planet Aquarium from Reff Builders Studio Vlogs and SaltwaterAquarium.com. There is a retailer close by me in Corpus Christi, TX that can order them. Checking out your build thread now, Thanks.

What are some aquarium characteristics that you are important to you? A generalization of "best" is a difficult target to advise towards without knowing whats important to you.
