Tank back available. Kena aeroplane. Price revised $50. Comes with return pump. If you wanna get the lights, skimmer, wavemaker see my other sell thread: Bundle deal available. SMS/Whatsapp 9639 6574.

Thanks. I'm not too sure for the weight loading for the t-slot but the profile is around 3kg/m. My total tank weight with saltwater is around 170kg. Considered light as compared to glass tanks. You can check out this link to compute weight loading and other stuffs: http://www.hamzasreef.com/Contents/Calculators/TankWeight.php If you are keen to know more about aluminium profile, you can contact singhonghuat. I bought some profiles from them. The other profiles i bought i got them overseas.

Hi.. Yes already did the bracing and installed the overflow box. Need to update to new pics.

Hi bro, yeah. Proper bonding is necessary for a longer lasting acrylic tank. Same thing for glass too. If no silicon properly will also affect its integrity. For bigger capacity tanks the thickness does matters. I watched Tanked show (Animal planet - awesome show, highly recommend watching ) and ATM did their tanks like 3 inch thick acrylic! Don't think dama has these thickness. Haha! For me, its more of trying it out and acrylic is easy to work with and it has better qualities in terms of strength, insulation and clarity.

The return pipes shown above is just sample. The actual ones are actually higher. Right now, I've added some rocks and saltwater. Will be going down Pasir Ris Farmway tomorrow morning to get some remaining rocks for scaping.

Haha dunno why the images got rotated previous. Here is the almost complete setup. What was done here: 1. The backsplash wall is now laid with mosaic tiles. Did this myself as well. These are mosaic tiles 30x30cm that comes with foam glue so its pretty easy to paste it. Challenge is to get is aligned. 2. The side borders. These are wooden profiles bought from Ban Heng Long. Smooth sand them and apply a few coats of exterior wooden paint. 3. The aluminium rack is up. Self-assembled. Pretty easy if you get the dimensions correct. 4. Main tank up with 3 bulk heads installed. Holes drilled using standard hole saw. However, do note that when drilling acrylic, too fast drill speed might not be good as it will heat up the acrylic and your hole saw may get stuck. Do it constant medium speed. 5. Ceiling hanged lights. This is the 36x3W Aquasun. There will be a shelf that will run from the sides of the tank. It will give it a suspended look. Cabinet doors will be installed last.

hi guys, as promised, photos! Aluminium profiles arrived. These are 4040 type. Industrial grade. Some PVC piping stuffs and valves.

thanks guys for those who responded. got what i needed for now.

Thanks for the comments. Now the main is up and wall background is done. Sorry been busy doing up the setup no time to update. Will upload pics soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Pm me if u have any to get rid of.

I can't remember exactly. It wasn't that much. Less than $10.

Final baffle is up and water test complete. Sump is now ready! As you can see from the photo, I've started on the main tank. Its in the background. Did water testing and it's good for now.

Sump almost complete. Awaiting one more baffle hopefully arriving tomorrow. Started on the main tank. Did a bit of buffing with Novus solution set. Very impressed with the results for the surface of the acrylic. But please use a buffer machine like those for car buffing. Also, there are 2 holes meant for sump inlet. Big compartment on left will be split for skimmer and refugium. Last compartment is the return. Once the last baffle installed between the first compartment, we do another round of leak and water flow test. Have a great weekend!

Sump update: 1. To get a nice smooth edge finish, I did try the flame polish method. Basically first sand smooth the edges, wipe clean and get a small hand torch and go over it. Here is a sample video: I used something similar to this for the torch, borrowed from my wife's baking stuffs: http://www.amazon.com/Torch-Butane-Burner-Ignition-Camping/dp/B00CJ8TOMG/ref=sr_1_15?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1378967718&sr=1-15 The heat will smoothen out the edges nicely. Make sure you sand smoothly else it might not have that glossy effect. I did over did it so some of the edges got melted a little. But nevertheless, this is a sump, people wont see and doesn't impact the integrity of the structure. Will upload pics soon. Meanwhile, the sump is now leak free!

Great to hear that! LED lights low on the wattage.

Thanks! also must thank u for the inputs.

For the Novus 1,2,3 I got them from Power J hardware store. The have an online store or u can drop by their shop at yishun or aljunied. It comes in small individual bottles as well as larger ones. I think these are very good at future tank maintenance for scratches as well as other acrylic stuffs. It has many uses. I just bought them today but no chance to try it out.
