I find it difficult to scape the Peninsula... being seen from 3 sides you have to make sure all are beautiful not just the front. 3 times harder than standard .
I was thinkng bout 2 designs for a scape. The first would be 2 pyramid shaped islands with the one in the back being larger, OR having a large base rock in the back with a ledge that shoots out and arches towards the front. I think a 24" wide tank would be the minimum I would go.

Yes I agree on the 24". That's what mine is but I couldn't pass on the sale

I just re-aquascaped my tank last weekend. I decided to create more surface are for corals. I also wanted to lower the high points, and to create more caves and channels for my fish. I like this scape much better than my last. I will not touch it again.

I really like the re-scape man. Nice work!

If you have the space go a little wider. I wish that my space/tank were just a little bit wider. I would go 7'x32"24" if you have the space and the pocket.
Yea I would love to go deeper, but the wider I make the tank the closer the couch goes to the TV. I don't mind too much, but the fiancée gets the final word.

I should have considered a peninsula. Love these tanks.
