The VERY FIRST Waterbox Aquariums Peninsula Mini 25

[EmilyXLC]

I am so incredibly pleased to present my upcoming project: the very first Peninsula Mini 25– this is the very unit shown in the product photos on the @waterboxaquariums website! I have been entrusted with getting her all set up & running— it will soon house my precious pair of Bullet Hole Clownfish, Deku & Uraraka! Stay tuned for progress updates; I’ll post them regularly.

Was really eyeing these new Peninsula Minis by Waterbox. Will be keeping an eye on this thread!

It’s a bit of an obsession, to be honest!

I guess I'll follow along.

Awwwww! Im so happy to see you here. I’ll make you proud!

Are ya ready, kidsssss?

We are now running the SICCE Syncra Silent 1.0 (just a bit of a tight fit, btw— I ended up having to position it at an angle so it wouldn’t come into contact with any of the chamber walls). I went with this pump because A.) I wanted a bit of higher flow options since I may finally dip my toes into SPS again & B.) We just happened to have one to spare at the office.

Saltwater is circulating, along with the CaribSea Bahama Oolite mix of live sand that I had set aside for it. I have roughly 1” of sand bed, but I’m debating on adding a little more.

To assist with my cycle, I’ve added a large bag of Bio Balls from our Reef Pro 220 Dream Build that have been circulating in the sump for about 4 months in anticipation for this little P Mini.

I stopped by the WWC Superstore yesterday to pick up some live CaribSea Life Rock, and got those added yesterday evening (not pictured). I’ll be sure to get some photos once I’m sure I am pleased with the rock work.

Thanks for checking in, friends! Have a safe weekend.

Can't wait to see what you decide for SPS!

WB Peninsula Mini 25g showing up this Saturday ...

 

[bmbrad]

Looking forward to seeing your rockscape on this build! I just got my WB Peninsula Mini 25g last week! Just got my Radion XR15 G5 Blue today. Still waiting on my stand from WB. Keep us updated! These tanks are amazing!

bmbrad - how do you plan on mounting the XR15 G5 to the WB Peninsula Mini 25g? There are some challenges with the small AIO chambers and equipment if using the RMS Tank mount, unless your just plan on hanging from ceiling.

I have the new RMS mount for the G5. Not sure I’m going to run a skimmer yet. I don’t like all the stuff hanging out of the top with AIOs generally. We will see though. I’m not appossed to hanging it or doing a floating light bar for it if I need more room in the back chambers.
