chazde3 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well work has begun on the latest project. The 75g peninsula style tank will be the display piece in my living room. I'm currently working on the stand that I am building and a canopy will be added. Her's a couple progress pics of it where it will most likely be set up. Ignore the mess, the loveseat will be going where my current tank is and I haven't finished cleaning up after moving. From the kitchen From the door From the couch Link to comment
chazde3 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Didn't get much done this weekend on the build. I did get the back painted black and also painted the overflow black because I thought the gray would look weird with a black background. I also siliconed the overflow into place. Its starting to look good. Link to comment
fote03 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Looks good. Cant wait to watch this come together! Link to comment

chazde3 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Spent the day transferring over the old tank into the new. Went pretty smooth. Couch/loveseat view Kitchen Doorway Link to comment
chazde3 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks, its my first peninsula tank and I love it. So much more you can do with coral placement. Link to comment
chazde3 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hey thanks guys. Hopefully I can get the outside of the stand done as soon as I get the money for it. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Looks good man, is this the stuff out of the 50 breeder? Link to comment
chazde3 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Looks good man, is this the stuff out of the 50 breeder? Yeah it is, it developed a leak along a bottom seam and it was cheaper to replace it with a 75g than another 50 breeder. I figure I can fix the leak and sell it. Link to comment
chazde3 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 So my mp40 was making a considerable amount of noise so I found a fix for it. Took it apart and found that one of the bearing was faulty. One $7 bearing later and its dead silent. If your pump is under warranty I would not do this but mine was an original gen 1 so this method was better than buying a new $220 dry side and was much quicker. Found the procedure for fixing it here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1901337 Link to comment
chazde3 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well I had to move. Tank made the move just fine. I've also been making some progress on the stand and canopy. Still have lots to do on them but its starting to come together. Link to comment
chazde3 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Got the canopy painted and the base painted. Just gotta wait til payday to pick up the rest of the wood to do the doors for the stand. Also spent a good amount of time scraping the built up algae of the glass tonight.

castiel Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This looks awesome, great inspiration for what I plan to do next. Link to comment
Paigee Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Wow this is fantastic! I love it!!! We thought about doing a peninsula sided tank when we move into our condo, but decided against it. Yours looks amazing though! Link to comment
chazde3 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 This looks awesome, great inspiration for what I plan to do next. Good to hear I inspire a little. Good luck with the project. Wow this is fantastic! I love it!!! We thought about doing a peninsula sided tank when we move into our condo, but decided against it. Yours looks amazing though! I almost didn't do a peninsula style tank. I think they get over looked as an option far too much. You get a lot more coral placement options. All in all I am glad I did do a peninsula tank.

chazde3 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Oh shoot, look what I picked up. Also have a drilled 50g breeder sitting around. Any guesses on what im doing?? Link to comment
chazde3 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Haha great guess but only until the water is in them. My cats are wimps and dont like swimming. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Love the tank. I wish I had space to do that kind of tank, sadly my house is built weird. LOL my cats freak when they get wet too. But they want to sit on top of the tank? It's like wtf you don't like to get wet! LOL Link to comment
chazde3 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 I love the peninsula style setup. So many more possibilities. Link to comment
