That looks pretty sweet! Right? (...Well except for the tangs. :shrug:)

Better not let the tang police see that video!

We're just looking at the "rimless" feature. Also not sure why one would put a sump on a biocube and not install a real skimmer. I'm not interested in that stuff either...although after I get the new LEDs hung over the cube, I may look into a Reef Octopus hang on the back skimmer if I can make it work.

So, now we know it's possible... and it looks sweet! The next question is when are you chopping up your biocube?

I think you and I should get together for some "jimsflies" projects! We can modify the LEDs and the cube. Glad I have wheels on my tank stand. Should be able to pull it out of and do the mod with no problem.

Couple other photos I just found on the net:
