Nice job! I'm getting envious of these cool cubes.

seriously....why doesn't the US get anything other than AGA rectangles and few bowfronts. It seems like EVERY other country gets better stuff. Probably what breeds so much of the DIY in the US.

Bear in mind, it takes skill to photograph a cube.

The Oceanic 37 US gallon = 24 x 18 x 21 inches is a similar but convenient shape.

I never understood why Oceanic's cubes are not in fact, cubes.

That's a beautiful tank -- great job!

Thank you John and Pisces. This cubes are amazing, we can pretty much do whatever we want with them. This one was made by order, specially for that place where it stands.
