I don't have a good picture of my 25g cube, but I love them so much I upgraded to a custom 60g from planet. Just got delivered yesterday

My ideal shape for the large tank in the future would be a 5x5 at 30 inches high. (not exactly cube, but I also don't want to scuba in the tank)

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!

First time poster, long time reader! I currently have a CADE cube aquarium (2’ cube, ~180L / 47.5G) that’s been running for around 2.5 years.

I voted yes.
I have a Waterbox 70.2. If you want pics there's a build thread (read: more of a journal for myself) you can look at.
I would rather have a much larger rectangular tank though.

Nice! How long have you had that orange spot file? Is he eating prepared foods? I really want one but dont want to starve one
I have had him for a year now. He eats mostly selcon soaked Hikari brine shrimp and masstick. I also trained him to eat LRS fertility frenzy and nano blend out of a cone worm feeder. I feed him probably on average 3-4x daily.

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.
