A little history of my lovely tank...

We wanted a glass tank that is front curved, braceless and it's size must be 60x30x35cm (ADA 60P size). I went to almost all LFS in Singapore but found none!! In the end I found the perfect Kotobuki tank in Hong Kong. Hand carried it all the way back!!

Nice and very clear tank, bro!

Where to get those rubber support for the glass cover?

I need one.

Thanks!

I have seen these in Nanyang Seaview with choice of tank thickness. It's at the thermometer section

I like front curve tanks... unfortunately, they don't come drilled for overflow.

We should have swapped... I thought of starting a CRS tank!

Ah bro I was troubled by this too until I approached Vincent for help. I'm gonna post my tank picture soon. It's now installed with a external overflow. Sleek job. Swee!

CRS is kinda fun too. Let me know if you start. I have many consumables left

Bro your comment reassured me! I was thinking this light may not be enough. Please give me more feedbacks. Thanks

Btw I'm using the given stand resting on tank. Is that high enough?

Thanks for your reply bro. My tank has a lesser depth therefore it should be enough since yours is already doing well. Happy to hear that!

Welcome back to the reef bro nice cool tank.

[JeffL]

Welcome back to the reef bro nice cool tank.

Thanks!!!

Ok here's the pictures of what I did to my tank. Engaged Vincent to come in and modify my tank with an external overflow since my tank is so small, I wanted to utilise as much space as possible inside the tank.

Pictures are taken with iPhone so not very clear... better than nothing hehe

[JeffL]

More unclear pictures... only wish I took clearer pics with my proper arsenal. Was too busy that day

[MarcoVan]

Nice job! But one question; have you insulated or dOne up a cover for your power points? They look exposed

And if not done, a trip by your tank can kill everything in your house. Mum surely not happy if the food in fridge goes bad

Good thinking bro! That power point is now right behind my sump tank and is lower than the water level. It may pose some problem when I do my

maintenance in future!

any DIY ideas how to secure this part? Maybe I should DIY a plastic cover to shield it. How about getting the grounding pin from Madpetz?
