    I am currently building a Dual cube build. I purchased a 93 rimless cube and I already have a 60 cube. On the fence about purchasing another 93 cube and having both the same. The purpose of build is to have a reef safe tank and a non reef safe and combining it into one complete system. I am also incorporating a small frag tank into build.

    Roman if you got the room I would go with the bigger cube, I think you would like it better and I know you will have filled with coral

    I Still need to skin stand. I made it big enough to house two 93 cubes. I have one right now and a 60 cube I may part with soon to buy another 93 cube. My intentions are to house everything including Small frag tank into one complete system.Have a reef tank in one and a non reef tank in the other. I built bottom of stand to be like a tub in the unlikely event of a spill.Caulking all of the joints and i am going to paint entire inside of stand.Also I am wanting to build some sort of control panel of some sorts to mount apex, mp controllers, and so on. I am going to use rare earth magnets to hold skin to stand to enable me to take individual sides off if needed. There will be three panels. The front panel will have doors and the two sides will be solid.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Hard to tell from the pics but do the tanks block your hallway? Looks great regardless!

    They are currently sitting next to my old tank. I still need to transfer over. I have a couple more pics. I built my light stands to pivot over tank to move out of the way if needed.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Glad to see you went with two of the same sizes (93's)! It will be interesting to see these side by side with the livestock. I was a bit worried you would have Frosty the snowman on the wall permantently, but sounds like you plan to put this in the same place as your current tank?

    Roman that is looking super cool…definitely a lot better than sitting in the garage! I will keep an eye open in case you list any of the old stuff. Keep the thread updated as you transfer things over so we can see the progress!
