tat is as good as useless ohmy.gif
to be safe, i would suggest u to buy two 4ft x 2inch 6mm glass and silicon it at the front and back.

u can remove the horizontal brace coz it doesn't help much.

since you are keeping strong predatory fish like toman which may grew big, its better to be safe than sorry.

dont understand. whats front and back >> blink.gif

any picture of it ?
using those magnetic cup or suction cup is one way of doing it but not tat natural but once the plants outgrown its barely noticeable anymore. another way is using driftwood to form a wall and fill it up with gravels, peat or spagnum moss.

U mean using driftwood to make a ledge?

To remove the braces, we use razor blade's razor?
How powerful the powerhead should be when using a 2ft?
If i use 3D backgorund and hide the filter behind ,it would be crowdy. kan?
A LFS is selling a small canister filter at rm88. But din check out the specs.
Another LFS is selling a medium canister filter at RM150, no brand.

yes

How powerful the powerhead should be when using a 2ft?

just a small one will do, a standard 2ft tank is about 50 liter. normally we use a pump with a circulation of 10x
so a 500l/h pump is enough

If i use 3D backgorund and hide the filter behind ,it would be crowdy. kan?

I dont get what u mean by hiding the filter behind the background  sweat.gif
u mean hiding the filter behind the tank or inside the tank ?

this is really quite subjective to your own needs, budget, aesthetics, etc

I mean inside the tank behind the background.
Maybe i just use HOB filter

Out Topic:
Birchir can mix with Juvenile Oscar?
Really want to get a bunch of them

birchir (polypterus) i read can comm with anything that eat meat.
But make sure the size is a match. Oscar fast grower, poly slow.

So bigger poly is bigger money. My oscar is 16cm..sheez~~ and here i thought my baby is only 10cm
