A little over 3 years ago, after a trip to Hawaii, I got the itch to get back into the hobby after being mostly out for quite a few years.
That tank is still going strong, but after another tropical vacation Christmas of 2022 to Bonaire, I got the itch again and decided I needed another tank.
This time I decided I wanted a shallow peninsula style tank. After searching for quite a while, not finding the tank I wanted, I figured I was going to have to go (semi) custom.
UNS makes gorgeous aquariums. Their glass is the clearest I’ve seen and the mitered corners are beautiful. They are more popular on the freshwater side, and don’t have too many drilled options.
I ended up going with their 120s which is basically a standard 120, but only 14” tall!
I had to drill the tank myself, and I wanted an external glass overflow with no internal box to preserve the ultra sleek look.
I drilled and cut for the single 1” return and the overflow wier. This was extremely nerve racking, but actually went fairly smoothly.
