more to the story here...

So talked to a good friend what was been out of the hobby for some time, but had some "stuff" he was will to part with ( as was his wife, she was glad to see the box of clutter go) ..

I picked up :

Reef Octo 110 Classic S skimmer
MP-10 Power head
Neptune apex classic
1. controller
2. EB8
3. WMX

and hooked it all up in the closet behind the tank..

Also made a quick trip back to the LFS to grab a AI Hydra 32 and mount

You made out on that deal with your friend
Enjoy the build
You have some nice gear

60 gallon cubes are awesome
I have one to set up but it’s going to get moved to permanent spot first

Look great. I also have a 60 cube... A Deep Blue rimless and I just picked up another rimless 60 cube from a local.

One thing I will note is that rock on the lower left looks pretty close to the glass. I left room for my MagFloat to clear the rocks in mine but it's still a pain when I have to use a normal scraper to get things the MagFloat doesn't.

Pic of mine for reference:
