Question Cube Tanks

I am thinking of getting a 2'X2'X2' cube tank. I would like to get your opinions on them. What you do like about them? What you don't like about them?
If possible I would like to come see different sized cube tanks.
Thanks

IMO I wouldn't get an exact cube but one that had the same dimensions front to back and left to right, but not tall. like (LWH) 4'X4'X2'; wont need as powerful lighting for it, I guess it is just my taste.

The new Current Solana's are a 20" cube and are really nice. Check out dirt4dinner's thread on his new setup. They are rimless with built in skimmer and ATO.

Flow is tricky in cubes.

I've got a 2'x2'x2' cube and I like it. The only thing I would change would be to take 4" off of the height and add 2 extra inches to the length and width (that would make it 26"L x 26"W x 20"H).

I would do the same for my cube, add a few inches front to back and side to side, but subtract a few inches from the height, otherwise I love it.
