Peninsula Reef

[isaacharry]

So this might sound like a dumb question, but i am in the middle of building at 1200 gallon aquarium, and i would like to know what exactly is a Peninsula Reef or a Peninsula Aquarium?

[Psychosis]

It's an aquarium with both of the long edges exposed and one sort pane as the back panel. Sticks out from the wall a lot.

You're building 1200 gallon aquarium!?!?!

 

can we get pics?

In a peninsula tank the viewing area is normally smaller then the side panels, in a regular tank the viewing area is bigger then the side panels and dam a 1200 gallon reef.

This is a peninsula tank

Viewing panel is smaller then the side panels

Normal tank, view area is bigger then the side panels.

In a peninsula tank the viewing area is normally smaller then the side panels, in a regular tank the viewing area is bigger then the side panels

But the viewing area for peninsulas are usually the sides..

Depends on how you look at it. I like to view peninsula reef from the front panel which is usually smaller then the side panels

[Hig789]

I consider a peninsula tank any one that the normal front, back and one of the ends are used for viewing.

Overflow is located on the side instead of the back. This enables the tank to be displayed lengthwise sticking out from a wall, hence peninsula.

Normally used for when a tank is 3 sides viewable/a room divider.
