Look at the Waterbox, Red Sea, IM and Deep Blue tanks. They all have some sweet small footprint setups that are nice. I have a Deep Blue 24 x 24 x 12 with a 20 x 20 x 20 sump. Love this setup. Added a Tunze ATO and it’s a great easy tank. I have a AI Hydra 26 for lighting but a Prime would do a great job.

Saw a 60 gallon deep blue with stand and sump on cl for $200. I know that has very little to do with what you were asking but man I like that size tank similar footprint to the BioCube but a lot more room.

Biocubes and older rsm are nice but require led/light upgrades better pumps typically and are tough aqua scapes. I’ve had both and prolly wouldn’t go back. I loved my 57g rimless tank so much better all around tank plus so many more options to make it your own. Seriously considering a upgrade already to around that size from my little 13g tank lol

You will love the 32 cube! Just do your research about the lighting before you invest in Coral.

I would go away from the biocube and look at some of the other options that Jeremy mentioned. As previously mentioned biocubes require a bunch of upgrades and I personally think getting the right type of flow is tricky.

If you have the space, I would definitely go with a 57-60 gal. Not too small or too big. Like DaveS says, many more options. I know you had big tanks before but I think you would become bored real quick with a 32 gal.

Why not like a 75? It has some length but is still on the smaller side. I have a 60 cube and find it hard to pick fish that I like because of tank length, it might explain the 180 waiting to make the trip into my basement.
