Don't have any photos handy right now, but here's a YouTube video of my 60 gallon cube, coming up on a year that I have had it (bought it used, the previous reefer had it running for a couple of years - I kept the livestock and rock and even most of the water when I moved it):

Here is mine.
It's a 93 gallon cube.
Obviously it is a new set up.

Several people on other post's/forums say they don't think my rock is high enough.
I'm looking for opinions, in my minds eye I see several SPS growing huge reaching for the light.
If opinions from the cube world agree then I will scape higher.
Right side viewed from the front pic is 6.5 inches from the top of the water.
Left side viewed from the front pic is 10 inches from top of water.
Lights hang 6 inches above water level.
First try at LED's so I went with DsunY (yes Chinese) but they have gotten good reviews, and are programmable.
Just looking for input.
Thanks for any responses:

IMO, I think it looks great. I think you have planned well for what you see the corals doing once grown out. My tank is much smaller and I spent a bunch of time on rock-scraping. I filled my space with rocks, trying to create depth and environment. Don't get me wrong it's great to stare at while cycling, but I'm left wondering where my sps will go and whether or not my set-up is going to look overcrowded in the end. Rockscaping is great but I'm realizing it's secondary to the coral I want to feature. As long as those lights are able to create the sps growth you are looking for I think you're on the right track:)

Your water is gin clear. Would love to know how you acieve this.

Im a firm believer in biological and mechanical filtration combinations!

I'm running a 16 gallon sump/refugium set up with a reactor for GFO and Carbon as well as using a filter sock for particle removal.
Also I have a skimmer that is rated for 2x the size of the tank volume! As well as a deep sand bed about 3 inches for extra bio flirtation, and I watch my feeding.
You'll have to excuse my cord mess haven't addressed that yet!
