My Innovative Marine 20 gallon peninsula Build

[Ben Glezos]

Hello my name is Ben and this is my build thread. I live in the Vancouver area and this Nano is going to be my third tank. 

I am starting my build thread for the IM FUSION PRO PENINSULA AQUARIUM from innovative marine, I am hopping that I will be able to gain information and ideas from the Nano reef community and be able to inspire you.

Hi Ben welcome! There’s a lot of great info here that you can learn from. I always find that tank builds here by fellow reefers inspire me ☺️

Hi Ben and welcome. There are some nice journals for that tank. Might be worth checking a couple for ideas. I guess you already have LOL.

So I have decided to take a bit of a cheaper route for the time being. I had a small cube tank that I decided to put to use, and it has been okay so far. 

I recently had a 75 gallon tank set up, but it wasn't going well so I decided to take it down. I didn't want to fully get out of the hobby and I really like the smaller nano tanks because they are cheaper, easer to maintain, and I always liked the smaller size. 

I have a picture of what the tank looks like so far and I am still new to this hobby so I would love some tips and such. I also going to take some better pictures in a little bit. I just wanted to get a picture out so that you can see what I am talking about.

- I also have a heater and some bio bricks for filtration

 

 

I will give a full up date on the live stock and the future plans for the tank in a little bit. (along with pictures)

 

Thanks to everyone that is following me and my efforts to keep a nano tank.

Looks good. How many gallons?

Looks great so far. My favorite tank was a 7.5g cube with aquaclear filter.
