Default Cube tanks - Please post photos

I'm going to get a cube made, but I can't decide on the dimensions. I know I want 30x30", but not sure how deep. Somewhere between 18-24". If you guys have tanks that are similar dimensions please post pics so I can see what they look like all set up. It would be much appreciated.

18" is a nice height, you can get away with 175w MH if you want to go that way too.

Here is mine so far.
It's 24x24x30 I made it tall as I have a large sump and refugium, and had planed to only put in 24" of water.

This is my hubby's 50 gallon cube tank. It's 24x24x20 I think? He built it himself. It has a starphire front, with mirrored sides. It also has an internal overflow in the back right corner. He has it plumbed into a 20g sump. He's nowhere near finished yet though. Still working on the stand and canopy, plumbing, and a few other things, but at least it's setup and running.

My cube or should I say my version.

Great looking cube Marlin65. Killer view with the 30in. depth. Nice back wall also.
