Hello everyone,
My name is John and this is my official 90g sps peninsula-lagoon build. As the title suggests, it's a peninsula (slash) lagoon style tank. (Well, at least that's what I'm calling it, so there.)
I love shallow tanks and I like them wide as well. My original thought was a 48x24x16, but I only had one place to put the tank and those dimensions didn't really work for that space, so I shaved off 12" from one side and added it to the other, so now it's 36x36x16 (roughly 90 gallons).
I wanted something modern looking, a floating canopy with a metal stand, wrapped in walnut.
After spending some time with SketchUp (and a lot of swearing at the computer) I created some drawings and this is the final concept.
I drew inspiration from Aaron's (SPS coral store) stands that he built for some of his customers. I originally wanted him to build my stand, but our schedules didn't quite match, so I had to look elsewhere (and come up with the drawing myself). Fortunately, I found a local welder who happens to be in the hobby and the journey begins.
Stay tuned, there's more to come.
John
