SRC Member dodo Posted January 12, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2003 HDB got no restriction as to how many feet tank you can have in your apartment the only problem of having a six footer is probably getting the tank into your lift. I have not visited AT's house but I believe his tank is a six footer although I fully understand that his tank's glasses are assembled in his house. So, b4 u decide to buy a six footer, consider whether you lift can accomodate your giant if cannot...perhaps negotiate wif your tank supplier to assemble the glass in your house or another way is to get them climb up the stairs, in the end, you will find those people look like this emotion icons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 My tank is 5 foot 3 inches long actually! As far as I know, there are no rules on the length of a fish tank. My tank was built at home coz my apartment lift's are small and so's my doorway. And having carried my old tank up with my wife, my lil' bro-in-law and an old man, left us in pain for a week! Anyone need lobangs for custom built tank, let me know... Hon and a few others are getting this same guy too. AT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah Teck Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hi all, I do not will there be any problem in other estates but I have no problem in getting a 6x2.5x2.5 into my 4A flat in Tampines st 33 block 354. The guys who carry the tank into my house are really professional! My advise is don't do it yourself . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 What would be very important is: 1. Ensure that your tank is sitting on a support beam and also against a support column as far as possible. 2. Don't ever have a big tank sitting in the centre of the room. All that weight in the middle of the floor is risky. 3. Get a stand that spreads the weight evenly on the floor ie. flat base. A stand that has four legs will see all it's weight concentrated on 4 spots... not a good idea at all. If you take the above precautions, you won't appear on the front page of the Straits Times.

Ah Teck Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Hi all, I ever visited a guy in woodlands who convert about half of his HDB 5 room hall into a Koi pond ! with water fall, bridge etc I guess that is definetely more than the weight of 6 feet tank. And the best part is his house actually came out film in the TV before ! Ha Ha Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
