I ordered a custom peninsula from CDA 72"x36"x27" back in June of 2021. Before I got my tank I built my sump, skimmer and mixing station. I'm kind of a DIY guy as you'll see from the photos. I also had to break down a ridiculously placed awning above my front door.
I received the tank in early November 2021. I started putting everything together.
I had to wait a while for the lights, so I made a rack and hoped I could make a cantilever without any additional support. This didn't work once I attached the lights, the rack started to flex, so I added a temporary support.
Here are a few pictures of my sump.
I didn't like the exposed canopy so I decided to cover it, and I decided on a guy wire for support. If I knew I needed the guy wire to begin with I wouldn't have had this huge plate welded to the light rack. You can still see the plate and it is totally unnecessary now that I have the guy wire. I still need to add 4 tunze 6255s, but Tunze is way behind on orders. So here is the semi finished product.
