I finally broke down and built a stand and canopy for the 220 cube. For the last year this tank has been in the basement on a 2x4 stand with LR and my 20" Snowflake eel in it.
Since my Glass 150 SPS tank was getting really full and I like the looks of a cube tank better I moved all the livestock to the cube. The 220 is plumbed into the rest of the system in the basement. I have a total of 13 tanks about 2000 total gallons all draining into a 150 gallon sump.

Stand and Canopy
The stand and canopy are both oak veneer Plywood

Water Circulation
I had way to many powerheads in the 150. I installed a Ocean Motion 8-Way with a Reeflo Barracuda as a closed loop.

Lights
2 400w MH in Luminarc Mini Reflectors w/ Cooling Kit
2 250w MH in Luminarc Mini Reflectors w/ Cooling Kit
Each light has ducting between them with a fan attached to keep the light cool. I'll add pictures after lights out at 9pm.
