Unboxing the CADE 1800 S2/P Peninsula!

Installing the LED background light (Current USA) on a Peninsula tank. A peninsula was selected specifically for this build in order to have a clear back glass free of equipment and overflow.

The scape is made up of Cornerstone Reef Rocks branch rock. I went with an NSA scape and built 2 island type structures using glue masters. Here’s the aquascape build video documenting the process:

Another highlight on this reef tank build is the lights. Illumagic Blaze X and Illumagic Vitamini super blue LED strips are beast. Really love these lights.

I went with Quantum salt for this build and cannot say enough good things about the salt and supplement product line. 100 good stuff!

Major highlight on this system was adding a school (shoal) of 10 Biota Captive Bred Yellow Hawaiian Tangs. It’s been an absolute blessing to be able to raise this school and enjoying them growing up. A year later and the school is 5 strong.

A look at all of the captive bred fish in this system. It’s always been a dream of mine to be able to set up a mixed reef tank with all captive bred fish and @Biota_Marine has helped me to realize this dream. Thank you Biota for all you do for the captive bred industry.

Can't wait to see how it fills in and matures even further. It's so beautiful!
