The WaterBox Peninsula MINI 15 is a premium, rimless aquarium designed for enthusiasts who demand superior clarity and a unique perspective. Measuring 500 x 350 x 350 mm, this "Peninsula" style tank is meant to be viewed from three sides, making it an ideal choice for room dividers, desktop focal points, or sophisticated aquascaping projects. Built with Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass, it offers a nearly invisible boundary between your aquatic environment and the room, providing the most vibrant colors and sharpest details possible.
The Peninsula MINI 15 focuses on minimalist aesthetics, allowing the beauty of your aquascape to take center stage.
Starphire Ultra-Clear™ Glass: Features low-iron glass on all viewing panels with a 91% transmittance rate, ensuring zero color distortion compared to standard green-tinted glass.
Peninsula Orientation: The extended length-to-width ratio allows for creative "longitudinal" aquascaping, perfect for creating depth in reef or planted setups.
Diamond Beveled Edges: Every edge is precision-cut and polished, providing a high-end feel and increased safety while maintaining a sleek, modern silhouette.
High-Strength Translucent Silicone: Applied with precision to ensure a clean look that doesn't distract from the internal livestock while providing long-term structural integrity.
Self-Leveling EVA Mat: Included with the glass to protect the bottom pane from surface tension and minor imperfections in your aquarium stand or desk.

Is this an All-In-One (AIO) system?
No. This specific version is the "Glass Only" model. It does not include built-in filtration chambers, pumps, or media. This allows the aquarist to customize their own filtration, such as using high-end canister filters or hang-on-back options.
Can I use this for a saltwater reef?
Absolutely. While it is a popular choice for high-tech planted "Iwagumi" styles, its ultra-clear glass makes it an excellent choice for a custom nano reef. You will simply need to add your own heater, flow pump, and filtration.
Where should I place a Peninsula tank?
Because it is designed to be viewed from three sides, it looks best when placed perpendicular to a wall, on a desk where you can see it from the front and back, or as a small divider between living spaces.
Does it come with a lid?
Standard WaterBox Peninsula MINI units do not include a lid. If you have "jumpy" fish, you may want to look into a custom mesh or glass lid.
OASE Biomaster Thermo 250: The ultimate external canister filter to keep your Peninsula 15 clear without cluttering the inside of the tank.
AI Prime 16HD (Reef or Freshwater): A sleek, powerful LED light that mounts perfectly to the rim of this tank for stunning growth and color.
Tropic Marin Pro-Reef Salt: If you are setting this up as a reef, start with the highest purity salt available.
