Hi bros, would like to set up a 6ft marine reef tank. Are we allow to keep a 6ft X 2ft X 2.5ft marine tank in a HDB flat?

Bro I think we need a permit for that the tank+sump can easily weigh over a ton. Check with hdb first on the loading terms.

as long as the whole 1 ton is not winthin 1 sq meter, u need no permit.

Hi Bros, really thanks for the advised. Really appreciate you guys' kind advised. Thanx!

Is this the case? Don't need to be near wall, beam and can even be in the middle of a room? Cos I read the HDB set up guidelines and seems the guidelines refer to tanks place against the wall only. I am intending to set up a 4ft partition tank perpendicular against the wall....

as long as your tank's weight is well distributed.

mean to say, have more legs for bigger tank.

Guess wat Steve from AM told me? 4 ft or 6 ft is recommended but not 5ft, becos of the weight distribution...err... I dunno wat to say. Anybody heard of it? Sounds abit strange right? I tink there are many 5 footer reefers out there.

Anyway, shall check with HDB. Thanx guys!
