Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

photos tonight! I saw it and caved it was just the upgrade I was looking for. If I'm using an existing tank to stock it how long should I let it cycle for?
this thing is almost 6 feet tall with the stand! it's enormous! I love cube tanks personally and I got a screaming deal on it.

As long as you use new sand and don't disturb the sandbed in the old tank, move the rocks quickly. You shouldn't have much of a cycle at all.

brand new sand absolutly mines getting kinda ugly! I'm tempted to use sugar sand because I like the looks of it and it's way cheaper (if you know where to get it) but I heard it's a PITA...as far as corals go. go figure my tank is finally mature and nice and I NEED TO MAKE IT BIGGER! still never stop learning. I'm also thinking of changing the halides that came with it over to LED's .

I went with special grade reef sand in my new tank and like it way better than sugar size. Way less storms especially if you have a sand sifting goby. I have one area in the tank that the sand would disappear from , so I added a cup of Crushed coral and it solved that problem.
Not sure of your requirements , but I love my radion LEDS.

Go for it provided you do not add heavy fish like tangs.
