SRC Member spkentchai Posted July 2, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted July 2, 2012 I am happy to start this hobby in a used tank that very much provided me with the courage to embark in this journey. I spoke to a lot of people before I start and after I start...."wow very difficult leh"...."very expensive hobby leh"..... these are the usual comments that you will hear from people....I agree that this hobby do take up a lot of vitamin M if you seriously look into every aspect of this hobby...but it is also true that it can be a very in-expensive hobby....but time involvement alone is expensive if you calculate the manhours spent. So, I am glad that I am still not put off by all these negativity and very excited to embark in a total new journey. CFO have officially approved the project statement and therefore....here i am now....i will be posting some proposed design of the main tank and sump tank....do give me your 2 cents.....
