Firestarter's 2ft Standard tank

[tiffanydunk]

these tanks are brands like ocean free and five plan isnt it? quite easy to find ma..

[Reefzzz]

Looking for a new 2ft standard tank, similar to mine. I've thought of getting a new tank and then transferring everything into it. But most of the LFS don't have this kind of tank for sale anymore. Anyone knows where to get it? Preferably in the East as I don't have transport.

Bro, i believe any LFS should have the standard 2ft acrylic tank la... U can try those fresh water aquarium shop and should cost only $20+ bucks..

[peacemaker]

Or... you can wait for me to upgrade, and I can sell you my tank.

[Firestarter]

Thanks all for the info. I will have to look around any LFS on Friday in search of a tank.

Bro any updates? U really giving up n getting a new tank? What a pity.

[Firestarter]

Latest update!!!

For those who thought I'd given up, you won't be disappointed!

I spent the whole afternoon yesterday going around a few LFS in Tampines and even to Pasir Ris farm to recee for the particular tank. My search was in vain. Apparently not many LFS sell this type of tanks anymore. Only seen the round edge ones.

I finally had a breakthrough when I went to Bedok 85 to try my luck. The other LFS next to 'the noisy shop' had 2 of these tanks, still wrapped in plastic! I was so thrilled that I just had to get it right there. You guys wouldn't believe if I told you I managed to bring the tank back safely with just my motorbike!!! :eyebrow:

Then began the process of emptying the tank.

[Firestarter]

Whats left of this cursed tank! Good riddance!

[Firestarter]

I will be making some huge modifications from the existing setup, which was full of flaws. More pictures to come soon!

Giving up no, getting a new similar tank yes!

[peacemaker]

Do a leak test even before you start...

A good time to lower your overflow edge.

[Firestarter]

Some modifications done to the partition. This will lower the overflow as its too high.

[Firestarter]

Changes to the design! Inverted the partition so the hole is now at the lower part for the seio. This is because with the lowered overflow height, the seio will suck in water too fast from the surface if its placed at the top.

Good job bro.. u working shift? always see u post in the wee hours..

Bravo.... look forward to your new posts then.... at least it keeps me motivated to improve my tank too....

[Firestarter]

Some minor updates.

Uno stacko again.

Note the acrylic partition is already siliconed, look how clean the joints are. Looks like I'm getting better after so many attempts. Heh.

[Firestarter]

Skyscraper to silicon the sides for the eggcrate.

[Firestarter]

Decided to silicon the overflow 'comb' this way instead of upside down.

Hi bro, sorry to say but imo, this way may create more restriction. My engineering knowledge tell me, your previous overflow comb setup is better than this one. I dunno what others say. Just a piece of suggestion. See what other suggest and u see if you want to change or not.

Its still in the testing stages. Yes, I agree it has more restriction this way, the 'comb' is loosely attached and can be plugged out easily. Tomorrow I will begin the filling up of the tank. Really tired after working more than 14hrs straight.
