famousdan314 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Update on my 7.4 gallon peninsula. Love this little tank. It’s so simple, using water change water from my 65g mixed reef. The macro algae in this display sucks up all the extra nutrients. Been a super low maintenance tank. 3 Quote Link to comment

Any skimmer advise for this tiny back sump? I second what @famousdan314 said. Macro algae is your friend in these smaller tanks. If your heart is set on using a skimmer, I think a reefglass skimmer would work 😊 Quote Link to comment

The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 MEDIA BASKETS! A little weekend project for the 4.1 gallon (or more like a 3 week project that was cranked out in a weekend 😬) Hopefully all my blood sweat and many, many tears are worth it! You know who you are!😂😉 1 4 Quote Link to comment

I know, at least when I first started the thread, no one made any acrylic accessories, ie filter pad holders, tiered media baskets, etc for these tanks. If Intank hasn't done it yet, I'd say seize the opportunity and get a product line going for all of the Lifegard Crystal AIO tanks. I'd suggest making an initial protype line and post pics of them on this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment

Let us know what you'd consider offering! Quote Link to comment
Daniel92481 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 We really can’t thank RDA enough for the inspiration he has given to this community. InTank aquatics will be releasing their media basket for the 4.1 in January. I’m sure they will be making more models in the future. Although awesome, will I even need it? Stay tuned for more...☺️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefahBarra84 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I say we support Rainy Day over in-tank. Time to let the smaller companies to get going over the established. Just my 2 cents 4 Quote Link to comment
Daniel92481 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I totally agree! That is why I said stay tuned for more...☺️ Awesome creation RDA! She fits like a glove. InTank Aquatics can take a back seat on this one. Really loving the UV orange color combo! Thanks again.😃 1 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefahBarra84 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Looks amazing! It's kind of funny, but being the OP, I've been slacking on getting one of these tanks myself. I'm planning on getting this within the next week or two. I wish they had a bigger peninsula, but I think it works well for a nano. I am however eyeballing the fijicube 38 peninsula to as something for an sps dominant system 😉 1 Quote Link to comment
Daniel92481 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks! I’m really happy with it! 😃 Oh yea, I like the idea of peninsula tanks, although I’ve never had one myself. I think they would look great on a kitchen bar with views from the kitchen and living room. I’m so impressed with the build quality of these little tanks. 2 Quote Link to comment
ReefahBarra84 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'm definitely excited for it. This is where I'm thinking about putting it. But not sure if the surface is wide enough 2 Quote Link to comment
Daniel92481 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Oh nice! Yea, good spot. Just have to get the measurements on that vs. the tank. Keep us updated! This is your thread after all.😉 Quote Link to comment

Also, @The Rainy Day Aquarium How do you like those lights you're using in that pic? 1 Quote Link to comment
Daniel92481 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I’m using a Kessil A360X. A bit overpowered, but the fit and form works out great for this tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Wow, this really means a lot to me! Haha it's kind of weird to now see something that I made being used on someone else's tank. I hope you like it! (Although I have to admit you might be getting an updated basket that addresses the "pizzazz"😂 I'm a perfectionist so it kind of bugs me 😥 I've never really had any intentions of selling equipment and such honestly. I'm just a hobbist with a few extra toys so I can tinker with making my own stuff instead of buying them lol. I suppose if there was enough interest I could make a line of products for these tanks, but I really can't see myself selling them for much more than cost as I know how expensive this hobby can be haha. So far I really like the lights that I'm using! Are they perfect? No. But I really don't think you will find a better light for the money IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment
CD_Scapes Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Anyone see the new Lifegard AIO tanks?!? they are so flippin cool!
