Currently have 3 tanks, one in my study, living room, and bedroom. Tank shuffle is underway. My living room tank is a WB 35.2 AIO that I'm moving into replace the bedroom tank. I've always been intrigued by the Fuji's 38 dimensions (36x16x16) dimensions and have never setup a Peninsula tank where it could be enjoyed from both sides the right way.
I used a Landen stand from Amazon that isn't quite the right width being about an inch wider but should not be an issue. As far as MDF stands go, it's not bad! I like how they applied a neoprene like substance for the inside and top. I ordered a white acrylic sheet to velcro on to the back to hide the ugliness there. Will probably also put in some wire guides to hide the cables.
Lighting: will start with an XR15 G5 Blue, I have the upgrade kit to make it a G6 Blue and will do that when I have a free few hours. Might upgrade this to a XR30 but I don't think I probably need to.
Filtration: I found that the first chamber dimensions allow an inTank BC29MR fits perfectly. However, it needs to be angled forward slightly so will need some kind of spacer in the back. Second chamber is a 9004 DC. Finally, the main filtration will be through the Fiji Advanced Refugium - Large. I got a good deal for both the tank and refugium for $400 on FB and they both look new. I plan to just grow some chaeto with either the Tunze refugium light or an amazon refugium light I also have.
Temperature Control: AquaEl 100w and a fan through a wifi Inkbird.
Fish: baby bistletooth tang who is bright yellow with blue rims (hoping it's a secret white tail), candy cane hogfish, long nose hawk fish, pygmy wrasse, purple firefish, Picasso clown
Coral: Various torches (hellfires, dragons, miami hurricane, tiger) and euphyllia, 1 RBTA. This living room tank was basically an overflow tank for when I bought too many torch coral. It also came in crucially important when my primary tank underwent a bout of horrific dinos due to me overdosing cipro when I was trying to save a torch that was de-fleshing. Really saved all my expensive torches. Everyone should have a second display/backup tank if you have expensive livestock.
Flow: This one is tricky, I have 2 MP10QD's and a Tunze 6020 to spare. I don't want to ruin the look of the peninsula by sticking a wart at the end of it. I might see if there's a way I can use the wideflow adapter on a MP10 and stick in the rear side area. I do want to use it because I do have a battery backup on it that's been upgraded to LifePO4 batteries that last a week.
