Hey just a quick comment on those LEDs, my appologies if I missed a comment somewhere but you're going to want to expose those heat sinks or get a fan running in there or your expensive LEDs will be burnt out in no time! Those heat sinks need to be exposed to fresh air to dissipate the heat that the LEDs produce. Covering them up with the back panel won't allow any air to circulate and they'll overheat for sure.

Now that that's done, nice cube! That's about the size that I'd like to do when my main tank gets to be too easy and it's time for another challenge hahaha
