when you mentioned diy ur canister filter. i read from i mac, puketekan also did that. Just that when you mentioned " pump" what kinda pump did u mean?
I visited aquatic shops and still can't figure what " pump".
I only saw air pup, top filter, sub mersible filter, hob filter, canister filter.

Some forumer did mention diy canister filter better because can use bigger container. Besides, canister filter also don't come cheap..it's like RM200 plus?

RM150 is affordable. My local LFS -biggest ( Ipoh) got their stocks from Penang- KW and CTY.
Everything is slightly higher. And the stores also located at Golden triangle!!.

Anyone tried keeping predatory fish like oscars or mala wolf in such design?
since they need floor space then height( I think) . Maybe it can be made possible? in a 3ft and above tank?
Hmm~~ I wonder...

A tank that big should be used for a whole community of salamanders or poison arrow frogs. Or monster fishes. biggrin.gif

In the future, my house will have aquariums for walls.  brows.gif
