tank

Hi ?Just to check is a normal 3ft tank 6mm type suitable for keeping marine ?

Anyone using this type ?

[mUAr_cHEe]

being a true blue singaporean....

i would suggest only 2 feet tank use 6mm.... 3 feet... better off with more worry-free nights... go for 8mm.....

be kiasu!!!

[Lester]

yap.... agree .... mine 3ft is using 10mm ...

[barnacle]

6mm might not be able to support the weight

of LR. if u are thinking of long term...at least go for

8mm all side, 10mm bottom.

[hotlemond]

also depends on the height. If you are going 2.5 feet tall, 12mm. Also, will the light fixture be resting on it? and weight of lights?

8 mm is the bare min but 10mm is safer for a shorter tank

[Skipper32]

If you are starting off as a beginer and not really sure abt your love for this hobby, i suggest you can start off with a 2/3ft but as for thickness is up to you. if thin wall then don't put too much weight (LR) onto it...

Hmm ... The type that you recommend expensive huh ?

Actually , I just though of picking up tank from rubbish chute area or some void decks and try , since alot ppls throw away tanks nowadays .. becos no more louhan liao ...

I did had a tank 2ft normal one with some LS in it now. but wana try something better .. lol ...

If someone cannot sell their tank and no space to keep i can keep for them ...

I think fat hope la ... hahahaha

anyway thanks for the informations. Will save $ first .

Bro ...

I just pick a tank ... think is 2.5ft x 1.25ft x 1.25ft . 5mm only .....

Haha ... also found a 3ft RI stand ... but ..... dunnoe got leak or not .....

btw .. your 2.5ft dimension is ? is it the same as what i just found ?

[maroonclown]

but the stand rusty ... my dad suggest use sand paper to smoothen it and then paint over ...

[maroonclown]

hi bro ...

u are in luck someone have a spare tank hehe

cheers

yes man ... i am lucky ... i will see how is that tank[i pick ] will leak

[mUAr_cHEe]

my advice is if u wanna be serious in the hobby... u better spend... for less worries and more enjoyment...

unless you wanna have sleepless nites.... *did i just hear my tank creak??* *will it crack and shatter and spill all the contents on my mother's swee marble floor which they polish everyday??*

then u can scrimp and save all you want... and prob try to achieve a cheaper tank than lizard44....

no offense liz bro!!! each person have their own reefing beliefs....
