I am actually considering getting one myself, I just don't know whether to go with the 20 or the 33, what do you think of the size in person? is it bigger than you thought? does it look more like a cube or a penninsula?

It looks more like an expanded cube because it doesn’t have that extended side glass like the peninsula, I live in an apartment and had little space to place it so I was worried about the size but once I got it set up it fit perfectly. I feel like it’s a perfect size not to big where it feels overwhelming for me as a noob but big enough where I can fit everything I want.

I just bought the same aquarium. Are you completely original or did you upgrade some things? What type of rocks did you use? I will be able to follow your tank to see its evolution

I just stumbled upon a thread discussing issues where the Red Sea max nano G2 XL overheats given the return and skimmer pumps, not even with a heater. Have you encountered this issue?

At the moment I haven’t had any issues, I don’t use a heater and I keep my house on the colder side so that my be a factor
