i think u need to supplement yr lightings with T5...dun think is enough with 2 230W maxspect...in terms of the length to cover 6ft end-to-end.

Return power of 16,000 l/hr, sounds scary...

Sump tank thickness, i would suggest 10mm - 12mm instead of 8mm..considering the amt of water and the vibrations caused by the return pump...to be on a safe side.

wow exciting new project!

for the turn over rate at 20x the main tank water still ot that bad

so that's why i connect the return pump outside of the sump with ehim rubber hose

[stevenkoh08]

for what i have find out from a lot of people that 6ft by 2 by 2.5 still can as it hold less than a tone of water but must be place near a beam of the structre

[stevenkoh08]

WOW...once your tank setup , can go your place see see boh ? lean from u ...hehe....

can why not maybe u can plan to sleep inside also ha ha

[stevenkoh08]

*** jaw drop....

ya for me that's the reason that i got very long to get approval

imaging just on the electricity bill per year it sure an kill already

[stevenkoh08]

Fish tank of normal breeding aquarium resting directly on the floor of size not bigger than 2m (6.5ft) length x 1m (3.2ft) width from HDB

[[V]tEc]

for a tank this big, ur chiller is not going to be able to support...better to get those aircon unit....even for my 4ft, this chiller take a long time to chill down to 1 degree

[Solo77]

it depends on how old is your unit(standard used to build flat) and my friend who decommed his 6ft was asked to dismantle during valuation check as it is not approved. Anyway, at times, no risk no gain. Life is short, play hard. Envy you for a big tank. Yr fishes will be very happy. : )

With this size of tank will hold 225 Gal > 850l. What I understand salt water will havey than fresh water ( Fresh water 1l ~ 1 Kg ). You may need to consider weight of sump, cabinet and all equipment. I quite sure it will more than 1 ton. I did see tank. I think around 8 ft but it sit direct on beam. You may consider that. My tank is 5 x 2 x 2.5 I ask HDB for approval it take around 3 wks to get approved

[pokmingsheng]

can why not maybe u can plan to sleep inside also ha ha

i bring diving equipment over,

let me dive in...

will stay tune for pictures,

i've not seen a 6ft tank before..

i guess its gonna be really impressive...
