Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am wanting to have a tank that is not 'rectangular' or perhaps not the standard size available in the market.

Does anyone know where can I get ppl to help me make it? -- low cost!!

Or, Can we do it ourselves?

I am wanting to make a tank to fit into my 'space' in my house but i can find anything that fits in nicely..

Mx :huh:

The space is about 105cm wide, 45cm into the wall panel & about 170cm height.

i am trying to work out how to come out with the best tank size...

btw, i am interested to :upsidedown: learn how to do the auto top-up. can someone teach me?

after reading those postings in the forum, i am still not very sure how to it. afraid that i might get my house trip..

not only the top-up, i also want to learn how to work on the lightings and many more..does anyone care to teach?

the sump tank, i am intending to use acrylic to do.. what you guys think?

i guess there is alot of things that i might have to do on my own cos of the weird space i have.. haiz...
