Chin,

The pics are great but it really doesn't show how spectacular this tank is when you see it in person. I have a feeling you will be having many more visitors who pop in to check out this bad boy.

And you are very welcome. The trip to Calgary was lots of fun, if tiring. Plus I love to do woodwork & aquascaping. So, again, you are welcome but that's what friends are for.

TomR, just let me know when & I'll come on over to help with the reaquascaping.

Ruth, cover our transportation costs to come up North this summer & my wife & I will gladly do a road trip to help you set up your new cube tank. Cubes are cool because you have the extra width to build the rock work and skip using pvc parts because it was virtually impossible to hide it with the rocks, which is why we ended up not using Chin's premade pvc structure. Be sure to stop by my place when you come down & I'll take you out to see this & other beautiful tanks in the area (ie. TomR's 180g & 125g).

Anthony

Chin, the tank looks awesome, great job to you and all those who helped! Definitely inspires me to change some things on my 94g cube, what an inspiration!

I'll also be waiting for my invite, I'll bring the fragging tools

What a super job you guys have done ! Even the detail in your journal. Gives inspiration when working on mine. Look forward to future pics and also pics of your next project.

Very nicely done. I'm sure it seemed like forever, but in my books you did that pretty fast without cutting corners. Some of my first design plans were for a cube tank. As you can probably tell, I love the multi-sided viewing!

Default Holy Doodle!!

Chin,
That is a great looking set up. Before seeing this there have been very few cube tanks that I was impressed with, but yours is very impressive. Handy to have a guy like Anthony around, he did a great job. You have some spectacular pieces. Next time I'm in the area I will try to coax Anthony to take me for another tank tour. Unfortunately you weren't available when I was there in August but hopefully will be next time.

Anthony,
well done buddy!
