Fiji 38 Gallon Peninsula

Nice, thanks! Assuming you run an ATO. How much longer did your reservoir last with the lid?
Ato goes more than twice as long. However you have to be careful in the summer because fans won’t be able to get through. My plan is to actually cool the hang on refugium.
 
Sweet tank. I literally posted a few days ago asking about the quality and looks of the Fiji 20 gallon peninsula. My other choices were the Waterbox 25 peninsula and the IM 20 peninsula. I feel like the Waterbox is too tall and looks more like a cube. The IM looks a little too long and narrow. The Fiji looks like it has the best dimensions. Probably going to pair it with a Waterbox stand and do what you did - get a white acrylic sheet to cover the back side. I saw the Landen too on Amazon, but there was only one size.

Following along.
Yeah that’s right, I sold my WB20 because it was way too short in terms of vertical height.
 
I have the same tank, debating on getting another ai prime to have 2 total or getting an XR 15 like you have, do you think it is enough for the tank? Also I can add led strips to cover the length of the tank.
 
Any updates?
 
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.

How’d you fit the Tunze 9004 DC into the second chamber- were you able to use the magnets? Thanks for any insight.
 
I have the same tank and skimmer, I used the magnet on the return pump side, it’s tricky because there is a glass in between, just be careful it does not fall in, but it holds fine for me.
