Upgrading Tank, Need Cubed Tank Recommendations

[SimplisticDesign]

I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m upgrading because I want to, but unfortunately, I woke up Sunday morning to my living room flooded from a big storm. I was advised by my LFS that my tank stand is compromised, considering it’s a Waterbox Marine X 60.2.

I love Waterbox because the ease of use (sump, plumbing everything), but their stands are trash now and before my living room flooded, I was scared that I would wake up to the tank on the floor tipped over.

I want a larger cube-shaped tank. I can’t win the battle with my girlfriend, and if it were up to me, I’d have a rectangular tank. Which leaves me to this:

What are some cube-shaped tanks, not custom, with a display larger than 36 gallons? I want a bigger cube-shaped tank and with a sump connected. Don't bother with Red Sea either...

The stand on my waterbox 230.6 is great.

UNS, WB, Ultum, all make cubes > 36 gallons... and that was just a quick search.

I would be inclined to look at the current stands from WB, if they are aluminum like mine is, I would go that route.

If going cube, I would go 24x24x24 60Gallon size…. And up…

Cube tank is really hard to get the flow right.

Having 24” depth will give you much more options than that of smaller…. I have 18x18x18 24Gal as my secendary tank.

60gal cubes have always been my favorite. 24x24x24

I have had cubed tanks for quite sometime now, and have had

This looks awesome! Where did you get it from? Does it have a sump?

I built it.. yes it had a sump. I can’t remember the brand of tank.. I typically make my own but I bought that glass one used and built the stand for it.

Oh darn... I don't have enough time to built a new tank... nor any experience... I have a fish guy that helps me when I go out on vacations and builds custom tanks, but its out of my budget...

24x24 cube is very common size and you can pick up one online of probably at LFS.

Here Google searched. For $500 standard glass but nice center overflow which is preferred for cube.

Although not a cube the IM 112 is 36×36×19.

We make a tank, the UNS R60, that has a footprint of 23.62 x 19.69 x 19.69". With the overflow, it is a 40G display tank. It comes with the aluminum stand pre-assembled with the sump inside, and comes with pre-built plumbing, so it is a super easy assembly!
