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.

Thanks. The tank isn't really a cube... 6' x 4'. If I could do it again though, I would go 6' x 6'. It has to be acrylic or the centre of the tank would be unreachable.

I had a 24" cube that I kept a huge Haddoni carpet nem with a mated pair of tomato clowns. That was all I could fit in there! Lol. Also I've got a 20" cube with a Peacock Mantis in my bedroom.

I love square tanks and built myself one back in the fall. I'd say go shorter than 24" and make up the volume with more sand area. 24" is a PITA when working on the tank (measure from your hand to your armpit and think about it). Plus the large area would give you some cool scaping options. I say go 36"x36"x18" or so.

You just need diving gear to get into the 6' x 6' tank, that's all !

Anyway, I have seen a lot of different tanks in person in so many years since I got into this hobby, but your tank is the only one on my number #1 list.
