I set up at 16'x3'x3' full blown reef tank for a client as a room divider back in the 90s. You could only access the tank from one side which made maintenance difficult. I had to wear a mask and snorkel when cleaning or placing corals on the far side. Since your planned tank is 24" tall it won't be as much of a challenge. Just something to take into consideration.

Ideally I don't want anything beyond 20 inches, 24 is hard to manage in my 48 x 30 x 24 (LWH) Elos tank when reaching straight in the back middle with my dino arms.

I am currently following your equipment box thread! Your 16 ft is amazing, why did you choose 15 inch vs something like 20 or even taller?

I'll have to dig a little bit but there is a build thread with VERY similar dimensions kicking around.

Not a peninsula but...
