better not to use ikea wood for 4ft bro. If I remember correctly, their max weight load cannot accomdate much, prob a nano tank at the most.

Think many of the fish shops do sell the standard 4x2x2 iron stands, can check them out before contacting Edmund.

why take the risk of having your entire fish tank smash on to the ground killing all fishes and corals just becos the ikea wood give way???

imagine dead prata/rics/duncan/acans!!!!

imagine $$ fly away...

imagine CO scold for making the house flooded

imagine clearing the water away

imagine mopping the floor till clean..

imagine slipping and falling when mopping floor..

then you tell yourself.. FML.. lol

A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet...

My very 1st tank (almost 20 yrs back lol) was on a metal frame.

just gotta make sure it is those minimum 2 inch wide wrought iron. not those 1 inch used for fresh water.

If you take care of it, can prob last u 2 - 3 years easily.

Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System

2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

Comycus: haha...if i can afford...but i m ok with iron...at least i get to see everything is running smoothly..that's the plus point.

Jacky: yup..will make sure my customised stand is meant for marine tanks. 2-3 yrs enough for me to consider another upgrade. Also dun know whether by then my CO wants to sell the flat and move to a bigger place....u know lah...women when they c their friends buy condo, they also want....

Updates:

1. Logistics more or less settled. Have contacted sgbros.

2. Wait for binosage reply to c whether sgbros can come on 27 feb morning.

3. CO has more or less approved...that's most impt.

4. Fresh n marine can customised the stand for me.

I can understand... hahaha.... at least yours never break into 2 like mine... wahaha.

Anyway, I used to engage a carpenter for my house reno, n the boss (Anthony) used to reef too. Mayb u want to check with him if he can give you a quote how much to custom make one for your tank?

Adman Deco, 6343 0330 but must warn that their pricing not cheap but confirm good quality during my house reno. : )

budget really tight....coz i need to get new lightings...4ft is no joke compared to 2ft. Still have to order nsw and rocks and return pump, 2nd hand chiller + chiller pump....besides the stand. Skimmer probably will come later...have to c the compartment first...if not going for skimmer...will use refugium method...which means have to buy miracle mud...not cheap after adding all these things big n small...not using credit.

yeah, between a 3 or 4 ft, i would just go for the 4 because after the overflow and stuff, 3 ft seems not much space left to do nice rock scaping (IMHO)... :)

Can't wait to see more pic after you restore the cabinet and tank... cheers
