I went for height on mine. You should utilize the vertical space you have. At least that's what looks good to me.

The column on the right has a fiberglass rod and the one on the left is balanced. I wlll epoxy it though. Something else I did that I've never done before was add some extra sand after I placed the rock. It makes it look a lot better IMO.

I am getting ready to set up a 93 cube also..
One thing about doing a cube is they are usually viewed from 3 sides so they need to look good from the sides also.....

Exactly what I was going to comment -- make sure you leave enough room so that you can get a magnet cleaner even after corals grow out.

Cubes can be tricky but keep playing with different ideas because they make for beautiful displays.

Just to throw out another exemplar; this is a cubish tank (36x30x22) I recently took down:

Before:

Few months later:
4.22.14 FTS by ..:.. EZ ..:.., on Flickr

I was never completely satisfied (after all, I'm a "reefer") with the aquascape and was planning to increase the height of the aquascape if I would have kept the tank up and running.

Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

Here is my 45 gallon cube, at first I had very few rocks and I ended up adding more pieces, still not satisfied but I'm leaving it like that for the moment. (sorry for the poor pictures)

I'm about to start my 93g rimless as well... excellent dimensions. I think I'll try to emulate Thorly's bonsai aquascape (crazy4acros), a google search will turn it up. His tank was 36x36 but it should still work.
