This tank has been running for about 4 years now. It's a Red Sea 650p, but I do not have it setup as a peninsula tank. I just like the look of not having an overflow box in the middle back of the tank.
Here are a couple videos. With details to come. If anyone has specific questions, I will try to answer them.



 
Thanks for sharing those videos about your tank!

Couple of questions

Favorite coral in there?

Any issues with your fish nipping at the corals?

Dosing regime for your tank!

My favorite coral are all my Jawbreakers, followed closely by the Tyree Elegance.



I do have some issues with the stripeys nipping at a hammer coral. I keep the hammer in there as a sacrificial coral. I am going to try to remove the stripeys soon.

I am old school, I use a Schuran jetstream 1 calcium reactor and reef genesis systems renew auto water change. Too bad reef genesis is out of business. I don't dose anything specifically. I change just 2 gallons of water per day typically. I have a closet next to the tank with the water containers and a floor sink.

I actually forgot about my favorite SPS in my tank. The Tyree Pink Lemonade.
 
Where were you whenever I was setting up my Peninsula 650! I spent hours looking for people with one. Beautiful tank though.
