Ok folks, I am doing my tank at the same time when renovating my house.

5'x2'x2' Tank will be integrated as a wall cabinet...

How do I go about doing it now I have two contractors? The Tank maker and my main cont's cabinet maker?

Do I get tank maker to complete the chenggai stand and then get the cabinet maker to do the upper part with plywood, finishing or what?

Thanks....

Lastly, is it advisable to have in mind & get the equipment I want first so as to determine sump size area and all?

Make sure your main contractor knows that that part of the carpentry have to be re-inforce as it will be housing your MARINE tank. And also the screws and such are to be stainless steel in order to prevent rust.

Give the contractor the dimension of the tank and the clearance on all sides that you want.

These are from my own experience as I just renovate my house not long ago with built-in marine tank.

Yo cute ape! ;)

Logic dicates that you have to get the foundation/flooring in first, the hole hacked properly, the electrical works done before the tank moves in. After which the facade can come in and cosmetically complete the built-in-wall concept.

oops... did you say in-cabinet? Hmmm... well, then the cabinet has to done first but you have to brief the main cont do reinforce the bottom part and built in the electrical stuff and cater for ventilation at the top of the structure.

I suggest that you cater for more working space in that section of cabinet where the tank is going to sit in.

Cute Ape here...

My tankmaker is able to do the bottom stand for the tank out of chenggai wood... I thought maybe why not as I do not trust the main cont to do the bottom stand... then get the main cont to do the finishing and upper part....

Is this possible?

My was done solely by the main contractor.

After all things (elctical and carpentry) are ready then the tankmaker comes in.

      BITCOIN RECOVERY SIMPLIFIED, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS.

      contact@ digitaltechguard .com website link:: https://digitaltechguard.com telegram +56 997 059 700 Being an artist living in Miami, my life has always been filled with creativity, inspiration, and the ups and downs of a fluctuating income. However, nothing could prepare me for the financial blow I experienced when I fell victim to an online scam. Losing $25,000 felt like losing a part of my identity, as those funds represented not just my savings but also dreams and aspirations for my art. I found myself feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain about the future. In the midst of this turmoil, I began searching for solutions to recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially, I was skeptical. Like many, I had read about recovery services that promised the world but often delivered nothing. However, my instincts told me to reach out to them, and I’m so glad I did. From the very first interaction, the team at Digital Tech Guard Recovery was professional and compassionate. They took the time to understand my situation, guiding me through the recovery process step by step. What impressed me most was their commitment to transparency; there were no upfront fees, which put my mind at ease during a time when I could least afford to take further financial risks. Digital Tech Guard Recovery walked me through the necessary documentation and evidence collection to support my case. They were patient, answering all my questions and providing me with updates throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it was comforting to know that I was in capable hands. It felt as if I had a team of advocates on my side, fighting to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Over the next few weeks, I watched as they diligently worked on my case. They kept me informed about their progress and what steps were being taken. I had almost lost hope, but their determination reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news that my funds had been successfully recovered. I couldn't believe it—I was overjoyed. This experience not only restored my finances but also rekindled my belief in support systems. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
