3 ft tank

Recommended Posts

After almost a year i stop keeping marine due to family and work commitment, finally decided to restart again. Initially, i thought of giving up for good, but when i started to surf this forum, i was impressed by the standard of bro here improving very much and also can say 'buay tahan'. But due to the limited space at home, no more 7ft tank. Decided to have a cube tank instead of rectangular one. 3ft by 3 ft by 2.5ft with the sump of 4ft by 2.5ft by 1.5ft.

this tank will house a queen, french, asfur, maculosus, scribble, africanus, golden butterfly, sohal, ABT and achillis tang. No more big fish.

Heh... you must think of a foolproof way to prevent any salt water from getting into your shoe rack... it will be disastrous if any ladies' shoes get messed up. :lol:

Haha planned already. Its covered, if really water got into her shoe, strategy is make noise first, why your shoes so lousy. Then she will keep quiet liao. Slowly the rack become my fish food shelf.

Look small as only 3 ft length, but quite deep in. So if the angel come to the front it look crowded.
