So after getting rid of almost everything I settled with a 60g cube tank so it is 2ftX2ftX2ft I love this size. It is acrylic and in excellent condition for being a used tank. I think I will redo the canopy as it doesn't come down enough to cover the water line.

There is a sword plant in the back left corner that should fill in and cover the airline tubing, for some reason I have issues with my discus if I don't have an airline going. I also want to add about 15 rummy nose tetras I just need to find them for a price I want to pay:)

Very nice. You were able to make it look big still. Do you miss your other tanks yet?

Nice Natural Look. If you want the airline tubing to blend in more they have black tubing but the plants will cover it up eventually.

Beautiful tank! Do you have problems with fish aggression with the cube shape?

Hi there... Beautiful looking setup... I just traded down from my 120 to a 55 due to space restrictions in the new house in Ct... definitely thought about a cube like you've done.. just wasn't sure if it would give me enough space for the fish... sooo I'll be following your progress closely as I really love the look of it.. so pics and updates please... Good luck with it and congrats on the scaping... Sue

Very beautiful tank! I like that big rock. Did you find it locally? I notice you have the sand sloped towards one side. Does the poo settle there for easy siphoning? Looks like it would. Great set up.

Thanks everyone. The sand wasn't sloped on purpose just the way it ended up. The big rock is a huge piece of lace rock I got it from a friend when he moved out of state i love it! As for why I got rid of my other tanks I just got tired of having a huge tank and wanted to go back to something small.
