Ideas for a 4g cube

[tho]

I have an empty UNS 25C 4 gallon rimless aquarium sitting around, and I’m wondering if it would work as a pico tank.

Would anyone like to share pictures of (or links to) similar setups that you’ve enjoyed keeping?

Also have a little Fluval Spec 3 that I have just restarted

Cut eggcrate to size
Waterfall/pond foam to cover
Sink in larger areas of rock
Wait for foam to dry
Push air from foam
Superglue more rock to places
Seal with cement

This one one of my MANY pico's. Then I attached pics of half of my collection I had in a 8" cube slammed full of sps.

Thank you !!! I have another 4g 10" cube sps tank brewing.

The tank ran for over a year and then slowly started to crash due to my own fault,but it happens. I learned a lot since then lol.

I actually have a 10” cube running, myself. No filter at all. Just live rock, a heater, and a reef glass skimmer. Skimmer barely does squat, but so far LPS are doing alright in there.

There is nothing wrong with a bare bones set up,honestly 110% its better than a clustered up display and all that. Here is a pic of the plumbing I whipped up real quick.
