So I've been checking out all the great cube tanks in this forum for inspiration for my own cube build. I wanted to do something different than the regular tanks that I've had in the past. My starting point is a Marineland 45g frameless cube. I liked the 24"x24" footprint and that is was 6" shorter than the 60g cube. I had an overflow box made and put it in the back center. I also made my own stand as I hate bending over to look at the tank (made it 40" tall). I am using T-5 lighting in a canopy that's open on top for good airflow. Now onto the pics...

Now I just need to stock it. Moved a few fish and corals over another tank that I took down and used the equipment from.

Thanks jdpeters! The canopy is mounted to hangers on 1/2" galvinized pipe I painted black. The uprights are 36" now, going to change them to 48" soon to get more vertical flexibility with the canopy. Here are a couple pics without the tank so you can see them better.
