Just set up my 60 gallon cube. I'm pretty excited to finally have it up and running. I bought the tank quite a while ago, but with the help from a lfs, I finally got it up and running.
Tank is a 24" cube, with a 90 gallon 'fuge and a 75 gallon sump. The stand is an old army piece, made out of aluminum, it was probably part of a mobile kitchen. I have a pan world pump running the whole thing and an older vertex skimmer that is a beast. No lights yet, although they will probably be radions.
The display is set up in my first level, with the fuge and sump in the basement.
Pic of the display with sand:
We went down through the wall to avoid drilling into the floor, and I had a couple of old phone/internet jack and speaker cable boxes already cut into the wall:
I went pretty minimal on the rock and used mostly real reef rock (which is awesome, great color and shapes). Pre water shot:
Everything is pretty cloudy from the initial set up.

and the 'fuge:
display after adding water:
Tank has cleared up and started it's cycle. I added a basic 4 ft shop light to the fuge. Now the hard part of waiting and watching an empty tank mature!
