I keep finding cube aquariums that are a drop smaller in any dimension (ie red sea or innovative marine) that make the aquarium drop a significant amount in water volume. Ideally I was looking for a 30" cube (90 gallons) but even finding a 24" would do for me as the dimensions of my new apartment wont allow my 36" aquarium to fit.
Anyone know any aquariums that fit the bill? Other than the cade aquariums cube as that is $1000 over what I am trying to spend on the aquarium setup

For your reference, we would build your 30x30x24 with 1/2 inch acrylic. If you want to go with a thinner wall and thicker top, we would recommend 3/8 inch walls and 1/2 inch top. base price would be approx. $1,000 to $1,200 plus shipping. No charge for color backs. Overflows or AIO would be very reasonable adds.
 
Glasscages does a 30x30x24 in glass. Base cost for a rimless in that size is $1,134 on their site. No idea what the extras and shipping would add, but if you want it in glass, you could check their site and see.
 
Aqueon and Marineland both still make a standard 60 gallon cube. They will be CHEAP, compared to what you are looking at.
 
Are you able to do tanks without bent corners?
Sure. Sometimes square corners are more appropriate as for example in wall. As a rule we can bend up to 3/4 inch thick and 40 inch long. Not saying a 40 inch would be made from 3/4. Just stating capabilities. For example, we build nice acrylic stands at 36 inches tall from 1/4 inch black or white. These skins are then fastened to our aluminum profile stands. 100% wood free
 
here are a couple of 24 in cubes for you.

sevenports is the us distributor for several aquarium brands. My mr aqua from brs came from them
 
are the mr aqua cubes drillable? (non tempered glass)
 
i will try to call them up to check, thank you. Scaquariums seems close as well at a 24"x24" x 21" but I've read mixed reviews on their tanks so not sure about that one
 
been a busy weekend as i found a small 2 week old kitten and was kinda forced into bottle feeding it until i could find it a new home. anyways...

got a quote of $650 for a 24" x 24" x 24" cube from SCaqariums external holes drilled for either eshopps or fijicube overflow (not sure yet) which isnt bad at all.
@BanjoBandito
your tank build is looking great, are you using the stand from them as well? How are you liking the build quality?
I have thought about going 30 x 24 but i wanted to use the orphek icon compact with 2 24" light bars (1 daylight, 1 blue) and am unsure if it will suffice

I have the 50g cube from SC aquariums (24x24x20) I was more than happy with it.

Back when it was in service

how was the quality of the stand? Or is it one that will fall apart in a few years?
