Hey all,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I've been getting into the hobby for over 18 months, planning my tank setups and buying used gear when I could find good deals. The stars finally aligned when I got my own apartment, so I setup my first of 2 tanks, a 20 Gallon FijiCube Peninsula.

Built a custom cabinet, painted black, along with designing and 3d printing various improvements. Tank started cycling end of July, looking to add my first coral and livestock soon .

FijiCube Peninsula Build List:
FijiCube Peninsula 20 Gallon Tank
Custom built cabinet
Custom built mesh screen top
3d printed RFG, intake guards, AI prime shade/diffuser, media basket
OG AI Prime (non hd) with gooseneck
Stock return pump
15lbs marco liverock, 4lbs Real Tonga Reef branch rock
Tunze osmolator nano 3152 ATO
Inkbird 306A wifi heater controller
Eheim 75w and 100w heater
Generic Nano Skimmer

Plan to add 2 Banggai Cardinals, Goby+Pistol Shrimp, Royal Gramma, crabs snails ect.

Second tank about to be setup is an Innovative Marine Nuvo Lagoon 25 Gallon. Maybe ill throw together a build thread for that tank, plan to make it coral heavyyyy.

Attached are some pictures of both tanks, any feedback is much appreciated. PS yes I am aware of the indirect light from the windows, no the tanks cannot go anywhere else the in house.
