Hello!
My current budget doesen' allow for a new peninsula at this moment. But i am looking forward to finding a used or new peninsula system. I have a few questions, however. I am currently running a innovative marine 40 gallon all in one system. I would like to move to a peninsula that is between 50 and 100 gallons. But am struggling to find ones made in that size. Is there a reason for this? Or is the market just not high enough for peninsulas in that size?
For those of you that have peninsuals what are your thoughts as far as pro's and con's? I am aware flow will be an issue. What brand tanks/ custom tank dealers would you suggest to take a look at?
 
I can't think of one peninsula tank that I've ever seen that was smaller than a 75g or 90g. And they were both custom built or not drilled tanks that the owner either drilled or use HOB equipment.

Is the location where you want the peninsula tank really important as a great place to have one? Or is it just that you like the idea of a peninsula tank?

I think they are cool looking but I think most of the good ones I've seen have most of their hardware in the cabinet at the end or under the tank.
 
I like the look and versatility in an aquascape that plays to both sides of the tank that a peninsula offers.
 
I have the RedSea P500, switched over from a SCA 150 after a tank crash from moving and I absolutely love this tank and stand. For the price, it includes a beautiful stand a nice working sump for all my needs and I love the 3 side viewing. My favorite view is from one end of the peninsula.

Love the look of your tank civics14 but as an s13 coupe owner i must disgree with s14chassie ;). I had a friend say that red sea goes on sale for retail stores (which he is apart of) so i'm waiting for a sale on red sea and the price he can get. Unless i find a used one.
