PICS of CUBES

I'm thinking about putting together a "CUBE" tank. I'd really love to see pictures of other peoples cubes. Preferably in the size range between 24"x24" and up! I'm thinking about building one 36x36x30 tall but I'd like to get some ideas. Please state what size yours is an what you're running for lighting.

Thanks!!!

sabodish - very nice!!! Is there anyway I could ask to see a wider angle shot? That shows more of the whole room and how big it compares to other things. Also how are you lighting the tank and what are you using for flow?

gdavis17 - Very nice as well. What are the dimensions of your tank?

Thanks!!!

here's mine.. 24x24x24


Lighting:
14K 250w Phoenix DE
PFO Mini pendant
250w IceCap Inc. Electronic Ballast (new style w/ fins)
MH is 8" above water line

See how it simulates that deep blue look..

Heres my 24X24
Makes for a more interesting tank in my opinion but is a pain in the arse for rockwork and flow

I can't believe that's only 60 gallons dpreefer. Yours looks so much bigger than mine. Nice job.

Here's my 60. It, unfortunately, doesn't look nearly this nice anymore.
