Here's a link Brian to several bio-cubes. Good Ideas, landscape, etc.

Here's a FTS of the 28g cube...taken about 2 months ago.
Made some changes since then, so I'll try to get you an update before your rescape this evening.
Basically moved the duncan and entire zoa garden out of here and into the 20 long...the ric in that photo was also replaced by a rock nem.
Here's a ~2 month old pic of the 20 long just after adding rock...I'll get an updated pic of this one up too. Also made some changes, as I took the rock to the right of the arch as well as the one to the left of the pillar, and turned them 90 degrees so that the long end goes front-back in the tank. It created a nice cove on either end of the tank, with a small empty valley running down the middle. I'm liking the scape much more, and it will hopefully divide the tank up for multiple fish to claim territory ...again, hopefully.

Nice, I like that a lot. I'm slowly transitioning my cube into being SPS dominant with a couple LPS in there. Going to keep the leptastreas and euphyllias in there along with the rock nem. I've started spreading things out a little to make room for some encrusting montis toward the middle of the tank
lol sounds like the nem might take up that empty space.
I actually did the same thing with my new scape...opened up the middle a bunch. Still need to get one piece of rock out and broken up to finish the new scape, but I'm liking it much more.
Edit: Forgot I took a couple pics with the phone yesterday. No FTS...but you can at least see where I opened things up.
The shelf piece of live rock (with the flames of hell leptastrea) bisecting the middle of the cave is going to be removed. I plan on fragging that leptastrea off the rock and attaching it to a piece of tonga below it. The zoas on that rock are going to be moved into the other tank. I think pulling that shelf piece will help open up the middle of the tank a bunch and create some negative space...which I was definitely missing with that last scape.
