Are you doing an overflow? If so, where? I was thinking of doing a centre overflow for mine and drilling a few holes on the bottom for a closed loop. Think that'd work, too?

I haven't decided yet. I think I could do a center overflow, but a rear might work better since the closed loop will run out of the back of the tank anyway. Lots of time to figure out those details.

I've got a center overflow. Kinda wish I didn't. It takes up alot of room that I'd rather use for rock work. And alot of the light gets lost in the overflow. But the center overflow does allow 4 sides of viewing if you can set it u that way.

Sounds like a nice tank Danny. Look forward to the build thread.

Although smaller, I just ordered a 24" by 18" cube but 24" H. Also going with 3/8th. glass and Eurobrace.

If you remember back a year or so ago, when I still had a decent size house, , my cube was 4ft by 3ft and 24H. I went with a 7in. sq. rear corner overflow, w/ a 1.5" drain stack. I really liked it.
