Setting-Up Waterbox Peninsula 25 & Cycling - Nano Reef Tank (No Skimmer) | Blue Reef Tank

In this week's video, I am really excited to share the start of a new chapter - I'm starting a new reef tank! This time, I am setting up the Waterbox Peninsula 25 and I wanted to bring you on the journey of how I do it, from Unboxing, Aquascaping to Cycling.
I can't wait to explore the new possibilities for this new tank. If you have any suggestions of what I should add, let me know in the comment section.

Wow, this video looks so satisfying. Nice!

[WaterboxAquariums]

Stellar job on this video! Can't wait to see what you have in store for your new PENINSULA MINI.

[areyouarobotz]

you need way more subscribers because this is fire

[hugmenuts]

You should run with no filter socks or sponges with Dr Tim’s one and only. You want the bacteria to attach the sand and rocks, not the sponges or filter sock. Love your vids! I recently setup a PM25 as well! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[JREMMACLIPS]

This is actually the best YouTube video I have ever seen. The quality, camera shots and so much more. You deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the great work

[kempzhong]

Wow, another nano tank! Good one mate!

[freedomaquatics]

I have the same tank as well for my daughters bedroom. I just got her a pair of mocha clowns over the weekend.

[JimmySchofieldx]

Yes yes yes, I am so exited to see this tank grow, I also followed your insta and I gotta say you’ve got some fire pics! Good luck bro.

[richardportelli]

The waterbox tanks are so well built, I think I will get a 15 peninsula soon and do a nice lps tank with acans etc

[jameschapman]

I would throw the bio balls into the recycling if I was you invest in some biohome ultimate marine filter media! Which is amazing stuff!

[sailorjbn]

I allways place pumps on sponges to reduce any vibrations.

[tomzz]

Hi there, i have the same aquarium and my return pump is giving off a hum and slight vibration noise, is it because mine is new or is yours the same ? Is there anything to fix this or does it fix itself over time ?

[garypegler]

Great video. I have the same tank. I would replace the sponge and filter media that came with the tank with some bio balls and also replace the filter sock with a filter floss cup and filter floss. You can add some carbon in a bag in the bottom of the cup as well. If you use the carbon that comes with the tank then rinse it first because it is poor quality and full of dust. Better to get some decent carbon like the Red Sea stuff or similar. I have the bio balls threaded onto some cable ties to make a loop which hangs off the light bracket into the water of the middle section. No skimmer required.

Hi. Nice video. I like your style. Just something to think about: putting your aquascape first and the sand second makes the rocks more stable. Now they are sitting on the unstable sand. Peninsula tanks are recognized by the viewers, because they can look from the 3 sides of the aquarium. I like your placement and lighting from behind tho.

[sedmands]

Hi love the video nice production, what light are you running about to buy this aquarium but obviously dose not include the lighting cheers

[techtrader]

Is there anything I should keep in mind when mixing the salt in the tank. Should I keep the filters off? Does it mix in well?

[tiloalo]

Nice setup 👍
To start the cycle, you could have added one dirty filter sponge and some bio media from an already cycled tank.
It makes the cycle super fast ☺️

[Taladrane]

Hello, does the pump make much noise?

[techtrader]

Also what rodi system you using, I ordered the aquati 5 stage system. Would you say it’s all the same as long as it has DI?

[scottrobert]

wouldnt it be better if there was a hole in lower portion of tank in chamber one so if the water level runs low the pump wont run dry? Also another intake cant hurt as well
