Help me with this, buying tank

[ZiT]

okay although i just joined this forum and all, i realised that there is this thing called cycling u need to do before intro of fish.

so since i wanted to have fish in a few months, might as well buy a tank now and cycle it la.

thinking of getting a 3x2x2 tank. is it a weird shape? if it is i get 4x2x2.

should i drill a hole for overflow to sump? i read that u need not, if use that i~box. but which is better?

which internal filter is the best, Sera Internal Biofilter got anyone use n hav comments?

that's it, just 3 simple questions...if have more i start new topic

thanks guys..

alright first things first. tank dimensions. the sky is pretty much the limit *and of course other factors like size/cost/weight/yada yada yada*

I myself am getting a 4 by 2 by 2.5 and I'm getting quite a good quotation on it. imho I think its good lah of course. not sure what others will say but hey, I'm fine with it. (=

for a 3 by 2 by 2 10mm like what you said, the quotation *cabinet + pipng for sump* is around $840+/-

a 4 by 2 by 2 12mm with cabinet and piping for sump will set you back around $1050+/-, and $1200 for a 4 by 2 by 2.5. if you want his contacts, you can PM me and ask for it lah. no obligations. best if we get together in fact. then maybe can broker for a good deal.

tank details wise...there is an overflow system which leads direct to the sump at the bottom. something like an I-box, except this is inbuilt/internal. all drillings will be done by the tankmaker itself. like I said if you want the contact, just PM me okay?

looking forward to hearing from you *in other words, looking forward to getting a good deal from him. *

cheers! and as for the other questions. well. you'll require people of more expertise instead of me. (=
