RS 650 Peninsula SPS build

I've been dealing with a frustrating issue with the GFCI outlet randomly tripping, see thread.

First corals in! Also added a few Kessil 160s to add some shimmer which I really like.

Tonight I was able to cut and install a custom sump cover to hopefully kick back on the condensation that builds up under the cabinet. Also I was able to get the CO2 scrubber added to the skimmer with a recirculating design.

Thanks for the help! I can confirm my stand does not include this retrofit part. I sent a request to Red Sea since it looks like they provide these parts free of charge. Also I don't have the armored edges on the glass, it's just straight silicon to the glass. I appreciate you looking out!

hello,

do you have a link to the armored edges? Thank you

Following! I've been looking for a build similar to yours! Is your t-slot attached to the wall or the tank stand? Do you have any issues with weight from the Icons since they are like 15 lbs each?

A few new additions to the tank! Big shout out to @Battlecorals for the frags

everything looks great! I also just set up a 650.

What par is the stag/green slimmer at?

The bar is mounted to the back of the stand. It takes the weight just fine but I went a little overkill and did the 3"x3" extruded. The bar goes all the way to the ground and takes most of the weight.

Thanks! I haven't taken a direct measurement of that coral but I'm guessing ~250

It's been a while since posting, had some ups and downs but lately been struggling on the coral front. Not sure if it's because I dosed some Nitrate and things need to balance out... see thread
