    This is going to be my 3rd cube reef, i started with an 30x30x24 tank that I had for a couple of years till i moved. A few years later I was in a place I could start a new one. So I build a bar stand and put a Leemar 36x36x18 rimless tank on it, after a year running i shut the tank down due to my wife quitting her job and going back to school. So After finding a way to restart the tank by doing the service on a tank the owner keeps at my job, I sold the tank and order a new cube. I went with the same footprint,so i could still use my stand that took me months to build. its a 36x36x24 LeeMar starphire with recessed eurobrace and a external overflow.
    Here are some pictures.

    I wanted a place I could sit down and enjoy my tank while we had a meal or just lots of beer;) a kegerator is on the list! It took me a few months to build, due to its size I had to build most of it in the living room. Have to say by month two my wife wasn't to keen on it, but when I took her to pick out the paint and tile and she saw the finish product she was a happy girl once again:)
