A 5’ cube sounds amazing!
Hopefully that dream becomes a reality one day, although… How would one get a tank that size through the door haha.
I didn't really think of that! Either the doors will have to come off or it will have to be built on site lol. 5 feet might also be too ambitious, might have to settle for 4' given that is already 200 something gallons.
 

i cant think

I never really cared about the gallons in cube tanks but dang, 200G sounds amazing. I definitely wish I had room for a 4-5’ cube, definitely a dream tank of mine with a large clam in the centre.

First time poster, long time reader! I currently have a CADE cube aquarium (2’ cube, ~180L / 47.5G) that’s been running for around 2.5 years.
@reefjules great tank. Your SPS is thriving. I have a 2 ft cube. Could you tell me a little about your lighting and flow? Thanks

Sorry have not said hello formally yet but thought I’d comment as I am setting up a big cube! Returning reefer after about 15 years, based in the UK. Early stages here and am making the stand currently. Will likely appear as a build thread! Dimensions will be 1m/39in sq, about 0.85/32 deep. Guess it will be a bit of a nightmare to maintain, all part of the fun, expect wet armpits and wishes that I had made it shallower on a bad day. Cut up the wood for the stand yesterday,
