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... |

QUOTE(broken_string @ Apr 24 2012, 12:49 PM) 5mm for a 4ft tank is seriously dangerous. got brace or not ? I hope u wont fill up the tank too high. Maybe later i measure again. I did tell that shop i'm keeping predatory fish. and the tank should be safe he's a aro breeder. He should know better .my 4ft tank pecah before but lucky its at nite and no one is near it. but my 1ft + tilapia die due to tat that tank is braceless and juz 5mm thick only yeah.. this will be my dream tank in future I will lower the water level to 70%. Coz wanna do rium-rium like u guys. Broken_string, Come to my place, and you teach me do step-by-step. Once done, I chia you minum 3 laye tea at Klebang while looking at expensive houses we might not be able to buy. |
