Love my cube, I have to agree with Marko in a sense about the tangs, while I'm sure a smaller tang species would be ok, they do swim miles and miles a day, so the longer tanks are better suited in that aspect. But I think cubes are so nice cause of the depth you can create with them

I think they look so elegant and sexy with that deep back ground.

I really want one and have been wanting to upgrade for a while... Other option is a 60g cube (only because of affordability and my landlord would probably freak if he saw a near 100g on the hardwood!)... What do you think? Bite the bullet and go 93g?

As long as you don't mind cleaning all that glass, go as big as your budget can afford. Bigger allows for much nicer scaping and more critters. Just keep in mind how long your arm is !

If 60G that means the tank is only 24"x24"x24", I think you will have to limit what kind of fish you have in there in the future. If I have a room for a cube tank, I won't go smaller than 36" in length. So, bite the bullet and go with 93G !

Oh yes, I agree. It is an amazing tank and it's dead quiet too. It has a classy "home aquarium" look. I didn't hear any noise like when I go to a LFS store coming from the sump like a waterfall or pumps.

I like the cube tanks. I was going to go 24x24x24. Ended up with 30x24x24.

I would never go deeper than 27" on any tank though. It's a PITA 30"+ to work on.
