It has been a little of two years of learning how to manage and maintain a reef tank. The experience so far has been great. My first ever tank was a 20 gallon that I had no idea what I was doing. Since it was a 20 gallon combined with me having no idea what I was doing I decided to shut it down and do some more research and learn as much as I could.
After learning a greater amount I decided to to purchase my current tank the 75 gallon. This tank is where I learned how to manage and maintain a reef tank. It’s over a year old at this point and the fish are going to outgrow this tank soon. I only find it right to give them a bigger and better home. This new home is going to be a Red Sea 650 peninsula.
I’m excited to see what this new tank will teach me!

Welcome to R2R. Nice looking tank.
I’m looking to upgrade my tank to a peninsula as well. Looking at the RSR 500 and the water box crystal peninsula 5526. It’s tough. They both look nice.
Look forward to seeing your build thread.

So far for the lighting I’m keeping my EcoTech xr30 and getting two xr15
My next decision is the heart aka the return pump. As of right now the first choice is the reef octopus varios 8. It’s strong enough to run a manifold.
