Ok so been looking around here for awhile and thought id share my new cube build, it's a 120 48x48x12. So here it is.

decided to build my 1st stand,made with 2x4,2x6's, topped with 3/4" plywood, and 3/4" foam, I didn't skin this 1 since it was my 1st, so will build a new 1 and skin it later.

now the tank it's a 1" thick acrylic custom made tank, with 2" drain and 1 1/2" return in the overflow box

then I bought some 3/4" conduit and made some light hangers for my led's which are just 2x boost mu135 fixtures for now, will add more lighting later. Had a custom 39 gal geo sump that I used for now. And luckily my mp 40's actually stuck to the 1" thick wall. Will add more pics later

Looks like a good start. You can get larger pictures if you first download them to photobucket and then just link to them here.
