Shan's Picture Perfect Peninsula Cade
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- There is something special about a really well setup Peninsula reef tank and Shan's example is picture perfect.
From a great selection of fish and coral, right through to a super tidy equipment layout - there is more than enough to satisfy the most demanding of reef keeper.

Thanks for this tank tour Sam was great to have you over. I’ve learnt so much from tank tours to incorporate in my own systems. 😊
Thanks for having me mate! You’ve done an absolutely amazing job!
Beautiful system. Great work! 👏🏽
Hi Shan, if you're letting go of some frags, could I please get some off you? I'm on FB and MAFA.
@@happystarz7 sure. Are you in Melbourne ?
@@shashatv.yes, in eastern suburbs. Regards Alice
Perfect reef keeping. Would love to be able to have something like this
You can do it!!
What an incredible reef. This has to be my dream reef tank. If I win the lottery this is what I will build 😂🙏 Great video as always.
fantastic! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks Sam and Shan, your channel has inspired me to start a new tank. Last time i tried i lasted 2 years with not good results.
This time going to take it really 🐌 slow. Thanks again for the great content and inspiration 👏
Ah that is awesome! So glad to hear, take your time and enjoy the process (Y)
The most inspiring peninsula I have ever seen
it''s a pretty spectacular system that is for sure!
Beautiful tank! Always love to see a good mixed reef
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Just watched this again.. what an amazing peninsula.. wow.
Shan sure knows how to run a good reef tank!
thanks for video👌👍 .For those who want to have a large tank of all kinds of corals, I recommend watching this video. Because it mentions all the details very thoroughly. You just need to have a lot of money in your bank card,😵💫😄😄 to be able to have such a beautiful tank in your home.tank model is it (CADE 1800 Peninsula Series)
thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous tank top to bottom. Epic. Wonderful!
Thank you very much!
Some of the best coral placement and selection I've seen. Great contrast between the colours.
He does well doesn’t he?!
Shan keep up the great work! It's looking beautiful!great video Sam! Thanks mate.
Thanks mate, appreciate your support as always!
Great video, loved checking out this beautiful tank, it's inspired me to make some changes, I'll definitely be adding a Red Sea roller mat and Iooking into a GHL controller.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That yellow leather is a beauty.
it's a stunner!
Awesome tank Shan and again thank you Sam for another awesome vid. 1:06 the coral you thought maybe lobophillia is a symphyilla was another one earlier in the vid too. Main difference is lobo has multiple small heads, symphyilla is one large head/polyp. Apoligies fur crop spilling..lol
Thanks mate! Yes I get them confused often!!
Love the tour videos you have been pumping out Sam! Nice one
Appreciate that mate! Is a heck of a lot of work, but they are super enjoyable!!
Wow that was an impressive tank tour! I really enjoying them. I have the exact same Cade peninsula and this puts mine to shame, but also given me some good ideas for how I can better my tank and just make things more neat.
I’m glad you enjoyed it and were able to nab a couple tips from it! Thanks for watching
Another great tour and great Reef tank. Those Cades are so sleek. Love em. Just can't fit anymore tanks in the house 😂
Hahaha always room for “one” more!!!
I love those top covers!!!
They're a nice touch hey
Love such talk through videos. Agree with what you mentioned at the end, some aspiring and inspiring key take aways from the video. Beautiful tank, Shan!
Love that! Thank you!!
Gotta love the adlibs....Yip, yip, yip, yes, sure, yip, yip,yip,yea yea, yip, yip, unhuh, yip, yip, nice, yip, yes,yes,oh yea,yes,yip,yip,yip, yep,yes,yip,yip,sure,oh yea,yip,yea,oh yea,yip,yip,yip,unhuh,nice,yya,yes,yes,yes,yip,yip,yup,yup,ohyea,ya,yip,yip,beautiful,yip yip yip,yes😂😂😂😂
It’s easy till you’re on camera!! Shan did a wonderful job at my interrogation!!
and 4sore lol
Broooo. I had to stop the vid qtr way through bc of this lol
I had to tough through it. The tank is amazing. Parker, concentrate on the interview not the conversation you want to have. Give the interviewee an opportunity to talk uninterrupted. I love your knowledge and enthusiasm though, keep it up!
Thanks Sam and Shan - really inspiring, great set up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of my favourites, thanks both, great film!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video and very well made!
Thank you!!
What a great coral scape the color combinations make this tank a real masterpiece. What would it be like in two three years, mind blowing, no doubt. I especially like that staghorn, sps thingy, not sure what its called but looks like deers antlers, that is just the crowning jewel. I'm in Southeast Asia and not in a devlpped part like malaysia or Singapore, too many power outages, nobody keeps salt water tanks except in the big city and even still, its technically illegal, amd people just don't have the income to do it, very few, it would be irresponsible yo set up atank and have everything die because the shops ran out of salt or there was a two day long power outage which can happen and does occasionally. At least we have some coral reefs to go see though and I can look at your guyses' tanks on this channel. What a stellar tank, great work Shan!
Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated
Im loving the tank tours videos
Thanks mate! They are a lot of work, but always make a great video!
@@ParkersReef they are always great videos. Thanks for all the traveling you do to bring them to us
my pleasure mate
Super tank. I finally purchased my tank after much thinking and research. I went with the Cade peninsula 1200. I’m going to have 2 Bombies and it will be highly soft coral focased with a few lps. Couple of clown fish, some blue Chromis, a coral beauty or flame angel, lawn mower blenny, coral gobie. Maybe a cleaner shrimp. I have 2 Radion G6 pro, I plan on making a custom hanging light shroud to stop the ambient light spreading around the rim. I have 2 MP 40,s a vectra M2 pump. Aqua 57 watt uv steriliser.Teko TK 1000 chiller, 2 fluval 300 watt heaters, a Deltec 1000i skimmer. Tunze chic fuge light. Currently have 80 mantis balls and 2 mantis blocks in my local fish shops sump of live rock, ready to go in when I set up my tank, I also spent a fortune on art reef rock. I’m so looking forward to setting this up. Looking into setting up an auto water change system now. Doing my research on that. Probably drill a few holes under the floor boards and run lines up through there into the tank, and out to my shed. Keep up the good work Sam, merry Christmas and happy reefing.
Sounds like you have an epic build underway!!! Keep up the great work
Nice tank , great placing off corals
totally agree, Shan has placed the different coloured and growth pattern corals expertly!
That’s a beautiful tank!!! Great video as usual.
Thanking you!!!
very nice set up and your tank looks great cudos
Thank you kindly
Woah, he has my dream setup with that man cave…. Love it
It’s pretty cool!
Great tank. Beautiful colors
Agreed!!
Nice models you built a lot.
I didn’t notice the modelling gear!
Amazing aquarium ❤.
It really is!
Good one👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! You sound like Chris Hemsworth! I thought Thor was into salt tanks! Lol
Hahaha if only I looked like him too 😂😂😂
Verry nice tank
Shan has done an incredible job!
That is a nice Pin-inn-chula haha
Indeed it is 👌🏻
nice bmw and tank looking amazing
Yeah the new wheels are slick!!
sick tank, would love to see an update on this tank, does he has a Instagram account ? love how you Aussies get more variety of corals than us in the US
I’ll see if we can do an update in the coming months as I know the tank has changed a bit since this video.
It’s funny, we’re only allowed Australian corals, so technically you guys should have a way broader selection than us
Sam,
I just found this video and appreciate it very much and as I love coral reef tanks, I subscribed to your channel…
It would be great if you can list and breakdown the equipment to each of your tank showing so individuals can look into possibly getting them to set up a similar tank … also indicate approximately how much the entire setup costs
Thanks for the sub! I do try to cover the equipment breakdown for each of these tanks, but tend not to go into cost as it is a sensitive topic for friends and family of the tank owner!!
You can work out approximate costs from the equipment list though :)

decent chunk of change!!
@ParkersReef 😅
Better than doing something less interesting with it. 😆
Sensational tank and video. I'd like to hear some detail on the T-slot lighting rig. Where you got it and what size and type. Also how you attached the Radion X bracket. It looks like you've drilled through the top of the bracket and fastened it with bolt and bracket connector. Is that right?
Yep fair call! Looks to be 4040 extrusion, you can find that pretty much anywhere these days including the brackets and fasteners to make what you need.
From there it is just a t-bolt through the factory ecotech slide to hold it to the extrusion 👍🏻
Incredible tank!
I am also looking at a Cade Peninsula. It seems Cade is very highly regarded for quality, I have found little evidence of tank/seam failure (there are a few out there though).
Are Cades made in China or Australia? Or both?
They’re made in china, but the quality and support is second to none
@@ParkersReef Thank you for responding. Does Cade have a support team in the USA do you know?
Awesome 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I would like you’re videos more if it weren’t a running commercial for Cade aquariums, Cade yes Cade aquariums oh and Cade aquariums I forgot to mention it’s a Cade aquarium
Thanks for the feedback! Feel free to check out my hundreds of other non-cade videos whilst here 👍🏻
What are the black things he has covering his wires from the wave makers running along the corners of the tank
Cable ducting! You can pick it up at hardware stores in various size, shapes and colours
Hey guys I have a 40 gallon FOWLER tank and I’m currently treating the tank with chemiclean. I had a cyano outbreak on the rocks at the top. First off can you run chemiclean for 72 hours instead of 48? And do I have to replace all media in my canister filter after treatment? Or do I just replace the carbon and rince the foam, ceramic balls and phosphate pads and replace floss? The tank is 1.5 years old
I’d run chemi clean to the letter of the instructions. It’s good stuff, but not for interpretation.
Your canister filter could be the cause to be honest.
@@ParkersReef oh no :(. I just don’t have the space for a sump and to be honest money is an issue. I have 2 clown fish, a brown tang, hawkfish and I forget what the bright yellow and blue angel fish is. And I have 4 medium sized snails and an angel fish in there.
canisters are possible, but are a super difficult way to run a reef tank
Tell me about the tank lid. . . where would you get one like that?? I just put together my new 1800 peninsula and would love that top!
If you’re in australia, nvs aquariums. If elsewhere, check out top lids
thanks!@@ParkersReef
Why such a beautiful reef tank in the garage ?
It's a man cave!
Hey ! Beautiful tank ! is it possible to share with me you schedule lightning (curves or values) ?
I think Shan mentioned he runs the AB+ schedule? But will see if he replies
can I possibly build and running it with cannister filter?
No, need a sump
The man has an epic tank but you can tell the time and effort he has spent on it has sent him packing to the garage. The Mrs couldn’t take it and my man made his garage his man cave 😂
Another way of looking at it is that Shan has an entire dedicated section of the house to his hobby and has even branched out into another space to enjoy the hobby with his family. Best of both worlds!!
@@ParkersReef I like the way we justify the situations we end up in . Well back to my garage as well now.
❤❤❤
It’s a gorgeous tank, we’ll do an update on it soon!!
I want to start reef tank like your but dimension when i will start is 150x50x50cm your thank is too beautifull and bigger, what dimension is and litress ( 150x50x50 is 375L )
It’s a stunning example that is for sure!
One thing missing from the Cade is a check valve. My sump just about fills to the top when I turn the return pump off. Extremely annoying as I have a level sensor in the sump and it gets triggered every time I do a water change.
Sounds like you need to raise your return outlet a bit so that it breaks syphon sooner?
@@ParkersReef yeah I tried that but then they’re pointing up and make a splashing sound.
I have to point them up to break the syphon at a mark I have on the tank and have to make sure I point them back down before I turn the return pump back on.
@@ParkersReef I think if I had actual outlets on the return nozzles it would help. I just have the elbows that come out the side of the weir. Something else that should’ve came with the tank.
@cameronbasford8991 fair enough! Easy enough to add a check valve in if you need. I personally find it best not to rely on them though as they tend to fail too often and always when you don’t want them too
The newer cades have check valves built in. But as Sam pointed out it introduces another failure point.
hi @shashatv.
brother make video about your reef tank
Who’s tank??? I’m always looking for g for new tanks to video :)
@@ParkersReef yeah bro i just want you to visit shan,s house and make a video about his reef tanks ...and just want to say you...your tank is awsome bro (parkers reef)
Thanks mate
Where can that leather be found!?
It’s gorgeous hey?!
GHL alkalinity monitor is the biggest piece of ****. Mine was wildly inaccurate, terrible user interface, and then GHL made everyone do a software update using a Microsoft computer. So I bought a crappy laptop to install the software and after a month of it not downloading, I threw it in the garbage where it belongs. 1 year later the alkatronic is superior in every single way. Super accurate, easy interface, super cheap reagent, and it just works!
I have to agree, I had a lot of trouble with their software :(
Another special reef
Absolutely!!
did Shan close this tank down Sam?
Nope, it’s still going strong!
@@ParkersReef good to hear!!!
Anyone know the exact dimensions on this tank.
Yeah you can look up all the cade dimensions on the Cade website, they have very good diagrams of all aspects of their tanks
Turn it into a little racecar/street car on a budget and then make it a give away car?
what car are we giving away now?! LOL
@@ParkersReef sorry this was not for your Video but some one else lol but now I know where the comment went
Haha no worries
2 of those lights cost more than my setup😅
Hehe yeah not cheap!!
Hey Sam, What ever happened to matey with that big tank David first time reefer tv?
Shut it down about a year ago
Just curious, whats wrong with AI Hydras??
I don’t like the colour they give out. Purely a personal preference :)
I'm a reef keeper ,, been in the hobby 15 years ,, im sitting here watching this videos that guys like yourself make ,, which is all well and good ,,, but there is one thing for sure ,,, its clear why admirers of this hobby don't even bother ,,,, all this talking about fancy equipment,,, its just look at my balls ,,, I have a lovely reef and I dont have a sump and dont have all this automatic online bank emptying equipment,,, you dont even need half of this equipment,,,, all this videos do is put people off ... its sad really that its a hobby thats been made to be a bankruptcy vision due to this videos .... such a shame
I hear you, but no on is saying you need all the fancy equipment! You don't need a Ferrari to travel to work and back, but if you see one, surely you are allowed to admire it?
I’d love a simpler setup if possible as it is extremely expensive hobby so if I can get the same results with less cost, I’d jump right into setting up a similar tank so any additional information you can provide to lessen the cost would be appreciated… Shan is probably very busy with his business and so his setup more than likely allows to spend a little less time to care and maintain his beautiful tank to keep things balanced
I have had simple low tech setups those tanks have been softie and basic LPS. So sure depending on the type of tank, all the gear is not needed. However .if going for a diverse mixed reef and especially with SPS, the gadgets are necessary IMHO. You can certainly save cost. But that may come with other costs (cheaper tank, more frequent breakdown of pumps, and of course the real cost : time. I have broken down cost later in the comments to someone else's reply. Cost is a function of value. If you see value then something is not expensive. If you don't see value then ... each to their own.
Why did he get the boxes out, to flex lol?
Just fastidious about keeping the boxes :)
,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Hello. please tell me, is it possible to subscribe to this aquarium’s Instagram?
Not sure he has one, hopefully Shan will reply :)
I have not setup an Insta for this tank yet, but thanks for the suggestion. You can be my first follower !
Shan, I love the tank and really enjoyed your explanation and taking the time to show your system and all … would love to get a similar setup and if/when you have some time, if you can provide estimated cost of entire system as you have it and list equipment, I’d appreciate it. Thanks Michael
Very nice!
It sure is!!
