Wow dont know how I missed this topic.

I love cubes, and started mine up around April of this year. I have it setup with a 30g sump/refugium that houses chaetomorpha and is lit 18hours a day.
I set up my cube so you can view all sides, meaning I did not opt to have one side against the wall.

Here is a picture of it when it was getting setup.

Thank you! Ya its nice to be able to see all the sides, gives you so many more options in how you want to set up your corals, rockwork etc. Here is a cheesy video I did during my fishless cycle trying out my new lights, but you also get to see all the sides of the tank and how it looks set up this way :)

Looks great! I am about 98% sold on a 60 gallon cube myself.

It's tough to tell, but is that a Radion? If so, how do you like it?

Thank you!
Yes it is (1) Ecotech Radion and I love it. It is so easy to plug in the USB and change PAR levels or emphasize different colors for your tank by lowering or upping different colors...
As far as only having one Radion for my 30x30 tank so far it has worked awesome! I dont have many SPS but the ones I do are slowly growing and all my other corals are very healthy. The lights are awesome and I would recommend them for sure.

I see you have the Corner-Flo option in that tank, how do you like it and how does it compare with a normal overflow or non corner-flo?

That's a nice fully stock tank. Looks great. Have me thinking when I move to angle it like that as well.

Thank you. You wont regret it, its the best thing I did, I get to see all four sides of the tank and show off all four sides instead of just putting it in a corner and only seeing two sides. Cubes are not designed to be boring, they are different so make it different by placing it to take advantage of the whole thing!
