My Red Sea Peninsula 500 finally was in stock and got delivered by my Local LFS. Wanted to start a build thread to document my progress. I'm new to all this so please be patient with me and thank you for all your suggestions/support.
This will be a mixed Reef and I'm not planning on adding any corals for a while as this is my first time. I want to get my water parameters right and let the tank cycle properly.
Equipment List so far
1. Peninsula 500 White
2. Sicce Syncra SDC 7.0 Return Pump
3. ReefLed 90 (3)
4. ReefLed 90 Pendant (white)
5. Red Sea RSK 300 Skimmer(Might go up to the 600)
6. Mix of Dry Marco Rocks and Caribsea Dry Rock
7. Caribsea Arag-Live Sand
***UPDATES TO EQUIPMENT****
8. 2 Red Sea Reef Wave 45
9. 57 Watt AquaUV Sterilizer
10. Apex EL with 2 ENERGY BAR 832
11. Plans to add a DOS for 2 Part Dosing
12. Plan to add an Algae Turf Scrubber (Clear Water Brand) CW100
Got the stand built and leveled for the most part (I know I will need to level again once the tank is on), I also mounted the Pendant but its not at the correct Height as yet (mounting the pendant was a pain as my ceiling is sloped and fairly high)
Next step is to place the tank on top, get the sump in and plumb everything in, then add sand, rock and water and start my cycle process.
Hoping to get all of that accomplished tomorrow.
