Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula G2 Aquarium & Stand - Black

The Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula G2 Aquarium & Stand - Black is a premium all-in-one 100 litre / 26.4 gallon peninsula reef aquarium system designed for hobbyists who want a compact reef display with serious Red Sea engineering, integrated equipment, and a clean black cabinet finish.

Built for reef keepers who want a small-footprint aquarium without a basic starter-tank feel, the MAX NANO Peninsula G2 combines a rimless ultra-clear glass display, extended peninsula depth, ReefLED G2 60 lighting, REEF-SPEC filtration, protein skimming, Sicce return circulation, integrated auto top-off, a pump power center, and a matching black marine-spec cabinet. The result is a complete nano reef platform that looks polished, saves space, and removes much of the compatibility guesswork from building a reef aquarium from separate components.

Red Sea MAX NANO Peninsula G2 Reef System

• Complete all-in-one reef platform: The MAX NANO Peninsula G2 is designed as a plug-and-play reef system with the core aquarium, cabinet, lighting, rear sump, filtration, skimmer, return pump, auto top-off, and power control built around the same Red Sea reefkeeping standard.
• 100 litre / 26.4 gallon system volume: The Peninsula model gives more water volume and aquascaping depth than the Cube while still staying compact enough for smaller rooms, offices, apartments, condos, and dedicated reef corners.
• Peninsula-style viewing: The deeper front-to-back layout gives the reef more visual dimension, making it easier to create an island-style aquascape with strong depth, open sand space, and side-view interest.
• Almost 40 percent more display space than the Cube layout: Red Sea’s Peninsula format keeps the same general compact height and length as the Cube but adds extra depth for more coral placement room and a more dramatic reefscape.
• Black cabinet presentation: The black stand finish gives the system a clean, modern, high-contrast look that helps equipment, shadows, cables, and cabinet space visually recede while keeping attention on the reef display.
• Ideal for both new and experienced reef keepers: New hobbyists get a coordinated system with proven equipment compatibility, while advanced reef keepers get a compact coral-focused platform with upgrade-ready filtration space.

Peninsula Aquascaping and Ultra-Clear Glass

• Rimless ultra-clear display: The MAX NANO Peninsula G2 uses 8 mm ultra-clear glass for a cleaner, brighter viewing experience with less visual tint than standard aquarium glass.
• Open-top rimless design: The clean braceless look gives the aquarium a modern display-tank appearance and provides easy access for feeding, coral placement, aquascaping, and routine maintenance.
• Extra depth for reef layout: The 58.5 cm / 23 in width gives the aquarist more front-to-back room than a cube-style nano, making it easier to build slopes, bommies, caves, open swimming areas, and layered coral zones.
• Compact but not cramped: The 45 cm / 17.7 in length and 45 cm / 17.7 in height keep the system manageable, while the Peninsula depth gives the display more usable reef-building space than many small all-in-one aquariums.
• Strong side-view appeal: The peninsula format works well where the aquarium can be viewed from more than one angle, giving the reef more presence than a simple front-facing box.
• Clean rear equipment concealment: The rear sump and rotatable rear sump screen keep equipment hidden behind the display so the aquarium maintains a natural reef look from the main viewing angles.

ReefLED G2 60 Lighting and ReefBeat Control

• Included ReefLED G2 60: The MAX NANO Peninsula G2 includes Red Sea’s ReefBeat app-controlled ReefLED G2 60 light, giving the aquarium a purpose-matched reef light designed for coral growth, colour, and everyday viewing.
• 100 percent REEF-SPEC reef lighting: ReefLED G2 60 is designed around Red Sea’s coral-focused lighting criteria and can be tuned from reef-white to REEF-SPEC Blue for different coral and viewing preferences.
• Enhanced blue spectrum: The REEF-SPEC Blue output includes ultraviolet, violet, and blue wavelengths, helping corals and fish show stronger fluorescence while supporting coral-focused lighting needs.
• Dedicated moonlight channel: A separate 3W moonlight channel provides low-level night viewing without relying on the main daytime channels.
• Wi-Fi app control: ReefBeat control lets the user set schedules, adjust channels, use acclimation programming, run random cloud effects, and manage lunar cycle moonlight settings from a compatible smart device.
• Useful acclimation support: The lighting acclimation features help reduce stress when starting a new reef, adding new coral, or moving livestock from a lower-light aquarium into the stronger ReefLED environment.
• Clean shimmer and colour blend: ReefLED optics are designed to give the display a balanced reef look with attractive shimmer and strong coral colour rendition.

REEF-SPEC Filtration and Water Management

• Integrated rear sump: The rear filtration compartment keeps the skimmer, filter sock, chemical media chamber, bubble trap, return pump, and auto top-off hardware hidden behind the display while remaining accessible from above.
• Surface-skimming intake: Water is directed through a removable surface skimmer, helping remove surface film so oxygen exchange, light penetration, and display clarity remain strong.
• Micron filter sock: The included filter sock provides mechanical filtration to capture suspended particles before water continues through the filtration path.
• MAX NANO protein skimmer: The integrated skimmer is designed around Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC criteria, helping remove dissolved organic waste before it breaks down into excess nutrients.
• Skimmer-focused nutrient control: Red Sea’s MAX NANO skimmer design passes the aquarium water volume through the skimmer multiple times per hour with a 3 to 1 water-to-air ratio, giving this compact system filtration performance beyond a simple sponge-and-pump nano tank.
• Chemical media chamber: A dedicated chamber gives the user a clean location for chemical filtration media when the aquarium requires water polishing or targeted nutrient management.
• Bubble trap design: The rear sump layout includes a bubble trap before water returns to the display, helping reduce distracting microbubbles in the viewing area.
• Sicce return circulation: The included 950 LPH Sicce return pump circulates the system volume about 10 times per hour and returns water through a multidirectional adjustable nozzle.

G2 Upgrade-Ready Rear Sump

• Integrated auto top-off: The Cube, Peninsula, and XL MAX NANO G2 systems include an automatic top-off unit with a freshwater reservoir hidden behind the sump screen to help maintain a stable rear-sump water level.
• 1.5 litre freshwater reservoir: The Peninsula model uses a 1.5 L / 0.4 gal reservoir, which Red Sea lists as sufficient for approximately 2-3 days of evaporation under typical conditions.
• ReefATO+ ready: The rear sump is designed to accept the optional Red Sea ReefATO+ upgrade, allowing the user to add advanced top-off, temperature monitoring, and leak detection functionality if desired.
• NanoMat ready: The removable filter sock compartment is designed so it can be replaced with the optional Red Sea NanoMat, giving the aquarium a future path to automatic fleece-roll mechanical filtration.
• Upgrade without overbuilding: The system can be run cleanly with the included equipment, then upgraded as the reef matures or as the hobbyist wants more automation.
• Rotatable sump screen: The rear screen hides filtration and circulation hardware during normal viewing but rotates out of the way for service access.

Black Cabinet and Power Center Integration

• Matching black cabinet: This version includes the black Red Sea cabinet, giving the aquarium a finished furniture-style installation instead of requiring a separate stand purchase.
• Marine aquarium design: The stand is designed for use with the MAX NANO Peninsula G2 system, helping support the aquarium properly while maintaining a clean coordinated look.
• One-plug control concept: The integrated pump power center gives conveniently located on/off switches for the skimmer and circulation pump, making feeding, maintenance, and service easier.
• Cleaner cord management: Centralized power control reduces the loose-cord clutter that often appears behind small custom reef systems.
• Maintenance-friendly layout: The rear sump, pump switches, removable filter sock, accessible skimmer, and rotatable screen make routine tasks easier to perform without disrupting the display.
• Living-room-ready appearance: The black stand pairs well with darker furniture, entertainment areas, office setups, and reef displays where a clean contrast helps the coral colours stand out.

Application Notes for Nano Reef Keepers

• Best use: The MAX NANO Peninsula G2 is best suited for carefully planned saltwater reef aquariums, soft coral systems, LPS coral displays, mixed nano reefs, and small feature aquariums where appearance and equipment integration matter.
• Coral planning: The included ReefLED G2 60 provides a strong reef lighting platform, but coral placement should still be planned around flow, intensity, shading, and long-term growth.
• Flow planning: The return pump provides system turnover, but many reef keepers may still choose to add a small wavemaker or circulation pump depending on coral selection and aquascape structure.
• Stocking discipline matters: The system offers more room than many nano aquariums, but livestock should still be selected around adult size, swimming behaviour, compatibility, and nutrient load.
• Great upgrade path: ReefATO+ and NanoMat readiness give the tank a strong long-term path for automation and cleaner mechanical filtration without forcing those add-ons at initial setup.
• Not included: Livestock, rock, sand, salt, heater, test kits, wavemakers, optional ReefATO+, optional NanoMat, dosing equipment, and additional filtration media are sold separately unless otherwise stated.

Setup and Installation Notes

• Choose the location before assembly: Place the aquarium where the floor is level, the system can be serviced comfortably, and water changes can be performed without moving furniture or stretching hoses across unsafe areas.
• Use the matching stand: Assemble and position the cabinet according to Red Sea’s instructions before placing the aquarium on top, and confirm the cabinet is level before filling.
• Check all rear sump components: Confirm the surface skimmer, filter sock, skimmer, chemical media chamber, bubble trap, return pump, auto top-off, and return nozzle are correctly installed before adding livestock.
• Use RO/DI water: Use RO/DI water for saltwater mixing and auto top-off to help reduce nuisance algae, mineral buildup, and unwanted contaminants.
• Cycle before stocking: Establish biological filtration before adding fish or corals, then stock slowly so the nano system can maintain stable nutrient and water-quality conditions.
• Use lighting acclimation: Start corals under appropriate ReefBeat acclimation settings and increase intensity gradually to reduce stress from sudden light changes.
• Service the mechanical filtration regularly: Clean or replace the filter sock as needed, service the skimmer, and keep the rear sump clear of debris to maintain strong water flow and filtration performance.
