Hi,

Anyone know where I can go to have an aluminium frame made for mounting my MH and T5s? Quite similar to what AT has.

4 footer coming together now that house renos are almost complete and tank already delivered. :thanks:

Hi Izzat,

Actually just dropped by Teck Cheong Aluminium at King George's Ave at the recommendation of Weisoon. Thanks Weisoon!

:thanks:

They have modular system.ie. aluminium frames with lateral slots on all sides and can be joined at right angles to each other using L-brackets. Pretty easy and flexible to use coz adjustable. Also can be attached to roller rail so the whole frame can slide along the rail. :yeah:

Cost-wise quite reasonable...less than $200 for frame that can accomodate 2x250 fixtures and 2 T5 fixtures by DrEvil together with roller and track. :)

Hope they will work out fine for your new set up. May take a bit of effort to set up/mount though. Me still very lazy, tank pipings still waiting to be set up ever since skimmer arrived quite some time ago. Have really got to get my fat ###### moving. :lol:

Once everything up, remember to invite me to your house for viewing. Bet your setup will be up earlier than mine, that I am quite sure.

Hi Weisoon! Glad to hear from you! :)

Haha! Looks like we'll have to see who'll be earlier...will probably only transfer in Dec when I finally move into my flat. In the meantime will start cycling sometime in June during the scool hols...only have time then...teaching lah! :P

Wah, putting the frame together was back-breaking work man considering the fact that the carpenters were still putting in bits of carpentry work at my flat, so had to assemble it on the floor of the study. Was squatting there assembling for about an hour when I stood up and my back was killing me! :pinch: Took me 2 hours to complete! Phew!

But seriously, thanks so much for your advice and help! :thanks:

May need to drop by to get some pointers on the piping if you're available! :P

Here's the finished product. Still gotta add one more vertical brace/roller assy to lessen the lateral sway.

Hi,

Yes, everything can be bought at Teck Cheong. Just have to give them the exact measurements and they'll cut the aluminium pieces to size. Gotta consider the number of joning brackets as well.

If you were to distrubute the load at each corner, definitely safer. However, the SWL (Safe Working Load) for each roller is sufficient for the whole assy. Think it is about 15kg or 30kg per roller.

Cheers! :)
