This is going to be my 3rd cube reef, i started with an 30x30x24" tank that I had for a couple of years till i moved. A few years later I was in a place I could start a new one. So I build a bar stand and put a Leemar 36x36x18" rimless tank on it, after a year running i shut the tank down due to my wife quitting her job and going back to school. So After finding a way to restart the tank, I sold the tank and order a new cube. I went with the same footprint,so i could still use my stand that took me months to build. its a 36x36x24" Leemar starphire with recessed eurobrace and a external overflow.

Thanks!

Mocking up my light hanger, out of some 1.5 pine. The gussets won't be there in the metal final product.
