Okk, btw, tried to kpoh your tank at the Youtube, mm........ took me a long time, still can't get in.......

Yes, thanks for the your advice... I will check the support (must be chengal wood) & access for maintainence of the tank in the cabinet.

Okie, I guess it is also critical to check the structural integrity, I 'll do thatwith my mgt office, wondering where can I get the total weight of the entire tank?

Oic, that's going to be a competition between the TV & the tank, and will it disturb the fishes & their well-being, if you let your ID go ahead with the design, right? Ya, that's the advice I got too about the compressor and the space for the skimmer etc.... Thanks for the good reminder. Hmm...... I'm really comfortable with my ID and have full faith in him, because he is actually the 1 that keeps bugging me to seek professional help about the tank and its setup so that he can incorporate the experts' advice into his design of the cabinets. He does not only want a beautiful showpiece but a lively, workable one too. Actually, I owe it to him that I'm doing this research now..... So, I will be getting an entire package - the expert to do up the tank and the setup but my ID to do the "cosmetics", I think my ID can and will work very well with the experts.

My tank is 5ft x 2ft x 2ft....quite big, hor....... it is going to divide the dining and the study, theraputic for both kind of activities. Surely, honestly, I can't wait to take the pictures.....I think it is going to be awesome, 'cos the tank is situated for a floating effect.......

Okie, I'll ask for the brand of the lighting, btw, the brand of the skimmer is reef octopus needle wheel pump 3000 litres per hr. What do you think?

Mmm...... I got what you meant....... I spoke to Victor from Iwarna yesterday and he said that he will work closely with my ID( if he is selected) to get the ID's beautiful idea materialised, which is why he said that he will customize the tank & its set up first and then for my ID to wrap it up with its capentry nicely. I don't know how la.... but I guess they have to communicate with each other very well, lor.........

Hi, all, I had got a crash course today and really interested to find out more....... It seems like a community out there....glad that I'm getting into this, hope that I can learn more from all of you.... What do you guys think of this setup : - 1) Tank + sump 2) Submersible pumpX RIO 32 3) Skimmer 4)Filter medium 5)Lighting 6)Refugium 7)Accessories (hydrometer, etc) 8) HP Direct Dip Chiller 9) Live rocks 10) Sea water 11) Sand Please give your comments,

Ya, how you know, hah? I asked the 1 at JK....... I took care to omit the company name............ Don't laugh, but really, what's a SPS & LPS ?

Ya, most aquariums advise me that a minimium of 24 inches is required for easier maintainence, etc.... yes, I agree that I should place importance on the hardware part of the tank like tank, piping, return tank . If I wish to upgrade the equipment of the tank, mm......sorry for this silly question, what will happen to the lives in the tank??????

Hmm.... what is a aircon chiller type? Yes, the tank will be dividing my study & dinning that is besides the living room. Cooler living room...mm.....what do you mean, please?

This is scary indeed........ I had just spoken to Henry from Marine Life, he sounded helpful and asked me to go to his shop to have a better understanding of the system and his quotation, think I 'll make a trip to his shop 1 of these days. And I'm meeting Victor from Iwarna at my new flat tomorrow, he wants to study the site????? Hope this is a good start..... Btw, like to have a feel, how long does it take you guys to decide on your marine tank? Because I have this feeling that Im going to take a long time,

Thank you for the tips, I will spend this day reading this thread....... really glad I'm not alone 'swimming' in this unsure water, looks like I won't 'drown' with all of you guys' kind help.....

Ya, I'm going to do just that (read & talk to u guys) after I collect all the quotations from the shops that I had enquired......hehehe....... This is going to be expensive hobby and there's livestock involved here, so I better take it seriously and do my homework well, ma....... Ahem...... I might be better at issues relating to renovation. I called neighbourhood shops like Goh Ah Bee (tel:62888611) & Tai Sing (not too sure , but can ask for you later). They offer good pricing, better than bigger chain stores but they do not space for display. So, I went to bigger chain stores like Gain City, Audio House, Courts , etc to take a look at the different models, took down the model no. and call the 2 shops for pricing, however, sometimes, the neighbourhood shops don't carry the model you want as in my case. So, I went to Audio House to order all my stuff. Here's the tips:- Audio House will try to match the price that you had gathered. Solo77, you can go to the bigger chain stores to check the model that you want and then call the neighbourhood stores for the prices, do some comparisons, you may ask the shops to try to match the price, la......... Have you got your flat & ID already? I find my ID very good & trustworthy, want his contact?

OMG, I feel like I'm going back to my schooling days...... can recommend me any good book on those technical details to read so that I can soak everything up and be like a pro instantly?????
