I purchased it at an LFS in Kansas City, KS, so I wouldn't be sure how to get this one specifically. I bet they'd be able to help when you call. [emoji106]

Just read through the entire build again. I am looking to purchase a new tank sometime this year and I am torn on a standard 4x2x2 120 or a 36x24x24 90 gallon cube. I don't have a specific stock list, I just know I want more room!

Thanks! Can't go wrong with the cube shapes.... But I'm a bit biased. [emoji23]

A little photo update. The cube is running smoothly and wonderfully! Everything seems happy and healthy.

I'm very happy with the Red Sea Coral Pro salt. My levels have been spot on thus far, of course I don't have too much demand yet. More corals will migrate upstairs from the frag tanks in due time.

In the meanwhile, here's how we're doing.

P.S. I don't starve my corals or my fishes, so yes there's is a light green and brown tinge to some parts of the rock work. [emoji6]

What a beautiful cube build its really making me consider , doing a 93g cube as the upgrade from my tank. In all honesty how much do you like this size of a cube ? I have always wanted a 60g cube but i am really thinking it would be worth the extra to get the 93g. I like them so much I requested a quote from Reef Savvy of a 93g cube. So we will see what they say. I really enjoy the build well done.

For the real estate of the 93gal, compared to volume... I love my 93! Although this is my first cube, I think I would have been disappointed with anything smaller. Especially with the amount of equipment, sump size, ATO container, and properly sized light fixture that fits with this size tank.

Good luck in your choice! Thanks for the props!

Thanks! No particular reason for going partial barebottom. Aesthetics, I guess? I really like the look. [emoji4]

Far too long since an update. So far so good though!

Nothing really new to report. I've added a few corals but am still severely lacking in Acros and SPS. I may be remedying that soon though. [emoji106]

I tore down my frag system due to lack of time to keep it going. I'm going to try and get the CA reactor installed on this tank in the near future. That is if I can magically create enough room.

Here is the latest FTS. [emoji7] Hopefully the new iPhone 7 gets better shots!
