My Simple 2ft Setup

[TayHongSiang]

If thats your idea....u shd tell him to drill holes on that pipe....and u can use that pipe for wc plus securing live rocks....that will be quite kool

[Gouldian]

Is it just me, but looking at this pic, the cabinet seems slanted or something....

[nicreef]

lol does seem abit slanted...u got dslr? u can use the leveller thing to take a pic to be more sure i think. my water level of my new tank also seems a little slanted but i kinda expected it.

....and ya quite obvious whom liao wahaaha luckily his office near mine so its easier for me...but ya be prepared to fit your time to his coz he dam busy...as for workmanship wise i agree. silicon can be improved

i like his sump, piping and overflow work.

I'm surprised the tank maker did not bother to laminate the boundaries of the chiller door cut-out. Kind of an eyesore to see a different colour other than the cabinet laminate.

peacemaker, that's one of the outstanding works to be completed by this week.

The initial proposal was to cover the hole with acrylic board with holes, but it has not been done yet. to prevent any further delay (i'm tired of waiting), i tell him to forgo about the acrylic board and leave it as it is. But he will laminate the timber part.

i think is the photographer's problem ... haha

[angmoh]

anyway if you guys notice, the support timbers were not laminated, i'm wondering is it fine? or will mould grow onto it due to direct exposure to moisture ?

[Gouldian]

Support timber ok without laminate. If it comes with laminates, I will be more worried as I will not know what wood the carpenter use.

Some of the common hardwood used in Singapore. For our supporting frames, avoid Nyatoh and Meranti - http://www.hiapchuan.com/whywood.htm

Make sure your return pipe will not leak.. Mine leaked a few days then he free then came to fix.

[digibee]

Wah ..... free then come and fix for leakage? No flooding? ...........

Heng ah the leakage drip back to sump, but cos my inner cabinet to splash with water. End up I using masking tape to stick plastic bag around and wait a few days...

[angmoh]

noted guys.. thanks.

[desideria]

IF it's a leak, I would be screaming for the vendor to come NOW to fix it. HOw to sleep thinking that anytime there could be a flood in my living room.

[TayHongSiang]

Ya man....agree. If pipe burst....thats it. I rather have a reliable tank maker than someone who is friendly n so call "nice"....

[Evolutionz]

till now i have no idea who the tankmaker is...

Evo bro, i will do a fair review on this 'well-known' tank maker when everything is completed.

I wont reveal the company identity over here, but feel free to pm me to check.

Agree, most important task at hand is to work with your tank maker to complete the project.

Sorry mate, that was my idea there's an outlet at the bottom for water change. In fact, i will remove the pipe and replace it with a cap.

Is it a normal that the base of the tank do not have foam?

[angmoh]

it has black color foam siting around the frame.

As mentioned by TS, only use this guy is you are not in a hurry. My story was worse. my old tank IOS retaining wall burst and flooded my house, simply because my new tank cabinet turned up 'not ready' and I had to delay migration for weeks. I got everything I wanted including a replacement cabinet.... But time is something else. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I see it now, used to the white thick foam type...

Frantly speaking until now, I have no idea who is the tank maker... I guess he must be one of our sponsor, correct???

[digibee]

Bro, from the pics, I think silicon workmanship kind of rough and done by inexperienced maker......

I am waiting patiently, for you to let us know the tank maker ....

[peacemaker]

If the tank maker is who we think he is, then there is no surprise on workmanship.

My very first tank made by him was perfect. Subsequent tanks came with slightly shoddy silicon work. It wasn't that bad as it was at the base, and I wanted to have a sand bed, so no issue there.

Must understand, short arms lah...

[Kakani]

There is only one man person in this forum who known to make and do tank for people. And he also sponsor.
