A 5’ cube sounds amazing!
Hopefully that dream becomes a reality one day, although… How would one get a tank that size through the door haha.
I didn't really think of that! Either the doors will have to come off or it will have to be built on site lol. 5 feet might also be too ambitious, might have to settle for 4' given that is already 200 something gallons.
 

i cant think

I never really cared about the gallons in cube tanks but dang, 200G sounds amazing. I definitely wish I had room for a 4-5’ cube, definitely a dream tank of mine with a large clam in the centre.

My old cube 32x32x26 taken down in 2018. I plan on returning with a 200g waterbox.

Was that a maxima in the centre? It looks like it was beautiful :)

Love my little square box! It is my first saltwater tank, and if I were to start over with the knowledge I have now, the choice would be exactly this tank! (aqua medic cubicus)

Never had one but have been considering one to relocate my clowns and my abominable RBTA's, that repro like rabbits, too for a clown tank. Other than that, always thinking larger than my 200g lol.

Sorry have not said hello formally yet but thought I’d comment as I am setting up a big cube! Returning reefer after about 15 years, based in the UK. Early stages here and am making the stand currently. Will likely appear as a build thread! Dimensions will be 1m/39in sq, about 0.85/32 deep. Guess it will be a bit of a nightmare to maintain, all part of the fun, expect wet armpits and wishes that I had made it shallower on a bad day. Cut up the wood for the stand yesterday,
