More islands might work. I would suggest upgrading to that 54 gallon you've got. Your blue tang is going to quickly outgrow that 25 gallon and the 54 would let you keep him longer (although he'll outgrow that as well).
This is very true and certainly something I have considered.

Would you goes with a sump system or canister filter? I would probably upgrade the canister filter from the current one.
I always prefer a sump whenever possible

I’m going to eventually update to be larger water box. And love the new Peninsula’s. But not sure about the other styles. Which styles do y’all like best?

I’ve heard so many mixed reviews about the sicce 1.0. It’s a far price but with ppl reporting the loudness issues. I figured I’d concoct something with foam. Also I am considering a nano protein skimmer from either Tunezz or eshopps but I have never owned one before and the same in the back is very compact.
I’ve put a Sicce 1.5 in my WB25 and it’s very quiet if not silent sitting 5-10 feet away. Maybe a bad pump or it’s touching the side causing a vibration sound?

So far the tank is going great. Just wanted to post some pics. Previously added what I think is a green brain coral and an orange plate coral. Added a Purple Tang today. Again this will go into a bigger tank I’m planning for my new condo. Probably another WaterBox peninsula but the bigger one to use as a room divider. This current tank is for my office.

Nice story, how did it end up with the clam? Did you decide to go for the larger tank? I am currently setting up a Waterbox 25 as well!
