Here is the tank being delivered to my door step. :rolleyes:

Specs are as shown:

30"x24"x20", 12mm glass tank with starphire glass front panel. Black Dow Corning silicon with external overflow box.

This tank will be braceless and hoodless, so as to give an open top urban zen style kind of feel, for a change... :whistle

This is almost exactly what I have in mind for my next tank, except for the Starphire glass (mine would be all round crystal glass). Looking forward to your updates! ^_^

run out of fragging places arh bro lolx.. :eyebrow::eyebrow:

Hi bro ambystoma, no la, i actually had in mind the intention to set up a tank just to keep some gems inside for quite a while already. No propagation on the books.

However, this tank will be mostly corals and very little fishes (maybe 2 or 3), and i'm hoping it'll be a showcase that is nice looking while needing minimal maintenance... :rolleyes:

Haha cool!! Alright then, rest assured i'll try and keep this as updated as i can so that we can all share our experience and level up our knowledge at the same time. All round crystal glass will make the tank price a bit steep for me i think. Keeping budget low for now... :paiseh:

My choice of piping for the new tank.

Still decided on +GF+ in the end as their fittings are the sleekest with the neatest finishing to me. :look: I'm a sucker for neat and sleek stuff.... :paiseh:

I agreed to buy the fittings and pipings that i needed and wanted for my new tank, while my tank maker would just cut and stick them to my specifications. But its always more painful when you're buying something that is not as widely used as other common brands...as i had to wait and search high and low for their stuff that are out of stock. :cry:

Good choice on having the overflow box outside the main tank bro ... scaping would be much easier n nicer.

Thanks bro. That was my intentions too. :paiseh:

I want to keep the tank as spacious and least cluttered as possible, so as to maximise the viewing pleasure. So that my eyes will only be looking at corals and fishes instead of overflow boxes and fittings... :lol:

Ok let me sidetrack a little. Went to Aquarama today and managed to find a good deal for my new tank. Bro thomas-lim, Dersuz and I bought this together at a very good price. :wub:

Of course, bro thomas was the one that "lost out" a bit in the end..... thanks to the "freebie" that me and dersuz got... :lol::lol:

A closer look at my favourite purchase today. :wub:

The surprise freebie was the feeder pump that came with the FR. It made the already good deal even sweeter when me and dersuz realised that there was a free pump that came with it (the pump wasn't displayed with the FR at the booth). Bad for bro thomas cos the bigger model he bought did not come with the pump..... *sorry bro it aint our fault* :lol::lol::D
