I am looking for input on stocking a 70G Cube 30x30x18. I am thinking Geo's but I cant think of anything else at this time. Help needed!
 
You could put a nice pair of large aggressive south american cichlids

Cubes are not ideal for "Large aggressive SA cichlids" since many reach lengths around a foot that doesn't give them much room to move around in even though it holds a lot of water.
I would suggest a small group of Cons and Firemouths or a group of Apisto and Rams. Making this a planted tank with Angels, Apistos, Rams and tetras would look really nice. And as you mentioned Geos would work as well as long as they don't get too long.
 
As stated, cubes arent good for any large growing cichlid.

That sounds like a great planted tank with a pair or 2 of dwarf pikes, several small schooling groups of tetras and a small pleco!!
 
a couple angels with corys and a bushynose plec
 
I'm setting up a 90g cube with the same footprint. Planing to stock them with I. adoketa and P. altum.

Nice. I hope you post pics of this setup and let us know how it goes. Im doing what I suggested to the OP;)! 2 prs of dwarf C. sp. 'Orinoco' and 1 pr C. regani...they are small right now so the planted 40B will do but my goal is to move them to my 120g and plant it or, if I can sell one of my guitars soon, an acrylic 100g Long (72x18x17) planted tank.

I totally forgot about dwarf pikes! That's going to be a lovely tank.
