like that type? i don't think you're able to get it + price is not that cheap cos it is arkelik types. Like i say try to do diy can test your patient yo.. if you want ready made i recommend you used the below on the floor types. Cost around 150 +/- only.

Yeah i am aiming for one too. I bought two back to kuching from KL...they didn survive the trip...damn....

8ft for tank i think nearly 1k. For rack depends on what kind of quality you are aiming for. roughly 3k with filter.
I'm planning to move to 8.3.3 before chinese new year hahahahah. Hopefully Santa can grand me this wish

Issit the Water proof membrane? i think it's 防水胶。

Added on November 25, 2012, 7:46 pmi saw this before. About 150 for one set. Without the internal media.....but i would still go for a sub tank as filter for monster fish keeping.

Added on November 25, 2012, 8:50 pmsubtank? that oso depends boss on your tanks as well. there are no preference to used subtank as filter for monster fish keeping. different ppl different styles but yet i would rather do research which is applicable for my needs and save cost as well. from you used 8 feet tank y not you built a pond which is also cheap if you know how to do it actually. but i still prefer using fibertank/poly tank which is also safe cost and easy to maintain.

Antzz, if goliath is like guppy fish.
You think we want to rear one?
That's why I say punggung gatal.

RM150? So only one tier. Never saw it here in Ipoh. I think.
Mudah selling RM70 2nd hand.

Anyone from Ipoh can give me LFS who's selling this one tier filter.
Seems good enough to muat bottom rack tank.

What's a sub tank?

subtank is another filter as well which is also looks like aquarium but many partitions. u see it actually if u goes to fish shop.

i googled. Looks like sump tank

yup exactly..

Yeah i totally understand that. For me, when i DIY things it has to be for 3 big reasons. SELF-CUSTOMIZATION (u can add or reduce anywhere to suit ur need), EXPERIENCE, and SATISFACTION. Cost-cutting is a mere side reason

Thats why i keep using sump tank filtration. Been using top filter and cannister before, but i think sump tank is the best by far (for my case, at least).

Built pond can be a good sight, but fiber/poly tanks are movable. Nowadays even can cover blue/white fibertank walls with slated brick walls, which resembles built pond look.

sorry, but pros and cons between sump & trickle/tower filter?
i know cannister wont fair good with those 2, but i did saw giant cannister filters made using big blue barrrels(used to store liquid/water/oil) in Batam before.

I think that's diy canister with big big space to tapis bio loads.
I'm using the usual 4ft rack to put 2 tanks.
Top tank sure can use sump tank ( maybe at the bottom side)or top filter.
But lower tank can't. Not enough space for tiered top or too low for sump tank.
That's why am considering options.

I googled Taobao for Eheim. Many prices many models.
Any other brands other than Eheim? And if it's Eheim, which model?
Maybe two moderate canisters to support the future bio loads.

FYI, my tanks are in my living room. With a kid roaming free ^^
So, it should be safe from drowning.

LuQee, You also from Ipoh kan?

Johnson, which goliath should i get my hands on That WONT burst my 4ft.

I wouldnt prefer pond for my case. As i prefer to view them side ways rather than just from top view. Unless for breeding stingray differnt story la haha. For my situation i guess a top filter for my 6 footer wound not be enough, as it would not be able to overcome all the bioloads my fishes are producing. Not to mention the filter cant be too big if it's a top filter. I tried different kinds of filters before, and in the end subtanks or diy Tangki filter is still the best choice considering u ve an extra space to hide the huge filter

Added on November 26, 2012, 9:58 ami think any GAFT or VAFT will easily out grown the 4ft tank. But not to worry, if u get a 5inch baby goliath. U will still ve plenty of time to fund for a bigger tank

actually the concept are still the same between sump and trickle filter. the diff only how the filteration works only as it is depending on your own setup. some ppl dun like the noise but they choose the trickle filter or sump filter. but most ppl will choose sump filter which is easy to get and depending on their setup. some fish shop do sell the aquarium in set with the sump filters. Some may need to make hole bottom of the aquarium in order to connect with the sump filter. but using the big cannister filters like you mention above it can last longer aka water clean if you how to maintain it and it required DIY as well which required patient.

I dont want to puncture holes in my current aquarium.
And also no space.
Who can suggest canister brands? MIC also acceptable as long as can last few years

sorry sis, im from subang hehe... not from Ipoh.
2-3 eheim 2217 cannister filters will do good i guess?
btw, if you are looking for good eheim subtitute, you could get the ever realible marineland C-Series Canister Filters.
they are robust, sturdy and wont failed you for petty stuffs, unless you did something really wrong with it. Theyre kinda like the american version of germani eheim filters. Though they dont come cheap and im not sure theyre spareparts are easily found in our shores.
Also, they got those filter pad media that able to tapis those dust/poo/taik ikan particles in water up to 0.5 microns.


thanx bro, still sketching some plans for my future big tank and its filter system. so i guess 8ftooter tank with 1 sump tank and with additional a few cannister filters will be enough?

no need to get GTF just get pacu will do... .. canister brands any also can used just the matters of size and $$$. The cheapers i saw is around 200 only. but yet i prefer go diy. why don't you try the diy method like i do? cheap and easy to maintain.

Added on November 26, 2012, 10:32 amwow..with that kind of setup may cost you a bomb if you intend to get a big tank such as 8 footer. Mind to tell me what kind of fish you're planning to put it?

This post has been edited by kakarocht: Nov 26 2012, 10:32 AM

Pacu? Red Belly? Hmm.. Interesting.

marineland C-Series Canister Filters..hmm.will check out the price.
Might even google DIY canister ^^

Regarding the tier top filters, RMB80+ got already. Just the DOA (Damaged ON Arrival Risk). And of coz postage. If one go i get other junks, then M3 =rm400 will be nice and cheap

if you diy the cost is cheaper than that including the pvc, pvc parts, drills and etc. try to do it you'll know how to diy it. just follow the steps like i made then should be no problem at all. cos i do that kind of filter is easy to maintain be it 3 trays or above should be no problem. just the matters is what kind of filter you're looking for. maybe i can try to gives you some ideas and what kind of material you need. you mention your aquarium is 4 feet x 2 rite?
