Do you reef in a square? Let’s see pictures of your cube tank!

People reef in a lot of different ways, with a lot of different colors, and in a lot of different shapes. Have you ever reefed in a square? I mean, have you ever reefed in a square tank? If you have thought about it, but haven’t gotten a square tank yet, tell us why not. If you have kept a square tank then let’s see your pictures of the cubed reef that you have or have had! We’d like to get some inspiration from your pictures and learn more about the benefits and challenges of setting up and keeping a square reef so show us your cube tanks!

I really did enjoy my cube but it also made sense in the extra room I had for it. It is hard to run this type for me along with larger tank in the same dwelling as much focus is steered to the big one.
I had thoughts once of moving to a 150g cube until the issues with marineland cubes were on red alert and pulled back on that plan

I had a cube in the past, in fact I’ve had 2 cubes in the past, both were nanos. My most recent one was my max nano that I upgraded to a custom made tank.
I would love a larger cube tank as the rock scape options are really out there and incredibly unusual.
This FTS was about half way through my max nano’s life (6ish months).

I have a Coralife Biocube that is only a week old. We love it so far. It fits great in my office, looks clean (sleek) and I like the ability to view on 3 sides, which I guess you could do with any shape tank. Lol.

Loved my biocube! I could grow anything in it after I upgraded the lights.

I believe my first reef tank was this tank!
It really is sleek looking :)
I miss the style we had with our old reef tanks, if only more looked like them.

I love my square tank but with the first aquascape I had flow was very challenging. Currently I have a nsa aquascape and it helped a lot with flow. I still don’t know if the mp10s are in the best place. This is the best photo of my tank and will be coming back to post some better angles. My tank is Red Sea reefer170

I'm in the very beginning stages of my first saltwater tank, an IM Fusion 15. It's been up and running about a month and a half now. The Chromis is temporary. Planned stocking is a Tanaka's or Possum wrasse, colony of sexy shrimp, hi fin goby with possible pistol shrimp, and a green clown goby or Hector's goby.
