Where are the reef-ready lagoons and peninsulas?

As I've been eyeing tanks for a future upgrade, I've noticed there's a real lack of diversity in tanks around the 50-80 gallon range. It seems most of what is available is cubes or the standard rectangle. I can't find any peninsula tanks in this range that are "reef-ready" or designed with a sump in mind.

Additionally, a lot of the tank dimensions feel unimaginative. A peninsula design is not a one-size-fits all. For example, the display tank at Fragbox corals is almost a hybrid of a peninsula and lagoon style tank which I haven't seen replicated by any manufacturer. The dimensions of their tank seems to offer interesting possibilities for aquascaping.

Its no wonder that the hobby feels so gear-oriented when all we have is the same "canvas" year after year. Am I the only one that's tired of the standard tank dimensions?

Look into Waterbox, they have peninsula tanks in small AIO sizes and larger ones 80gal and up.

Waterbox has a couple AIO peninsulas in this range, but trying to manage a non-nano aquarium with the equipment limitations of a peninsula's AIO compartment seems like a no-go.

Also, trying to mount the powerheads on the back wall necessary for a peninsula tank, while having to work around the AIO compartments makes having a SPS tank pretty difficult. Vortechs become pretty much out of the question.
