I love cube tanks, and have seen some pretty amazing cube builds here on R2R, so I thought it would be a cool idea to start a show-off thread where everyone can post a FTS of their favorite cube (could be your own or one you have seen). Be sure and tell us a little about the tank, too!

This is one of the reefs of "Mestre Basso". His name is João Basso and he's a legend here in Brazil. More than 40 years of reefkeeping and a lot of hardworking. He's a helpful person and love to teach others.

It's a 700x700x450mm (Not a true cube) 10mm Cast Acrylic.
You can't see anything inside the aquarium except Water, Sand, Rocks, Fishs and Corals. No pump, no wire, no pipes.
He uses only a hidden circulation closed-loop pump pointing upwards(1-1,5x aquarium volume). Overflow trough 3 corners, return trough one. ATS. And he removed the Skimmer after a while with ATS.

It is an inspiration to me.

Not to be a complete jerk but...isn't this whole subforum a section for showing off your cube?

The section is a Discussion on Member's Cube aquariums. This is a FTS picture show off thread.

In other words: Here you will find a compilation of member's cube aquarium in FTS.
