Just received my tank from Sg Bros....must say that they really done a fantastic job...mobilized 7 person to dismantle and fix up tank...the fee paid is really nominal....

I'm going to change the outlook of this tank slightly to make it nicer and suit my house colour scheme....

Last week bought the wrong colour Formica...today went to order again....so still have to hang on for updates.... :poster_oops:

Are you going to tear out the old and lay new or just over lay it?

Haha....not pro lah...just that I paid some $$ last time n learned some tips....

The side of the door n frame can use a strip to paste over...I tried laminate last time, not very hardy....and Formica is not ex....1 standard 4x8ft $14 cheapest type
