    I think they don't really know too.. They haven't used the tank for a really long time.. But oh well, guess I'll just have to buy my own pipes and hoses! Start from scratch

    The part about "They haven't used the tank for a really long time..." is abit worrying...

    If the tank has not been used for a while, best to fill it with water first, let it sit for a few days and test for leakage. Older used tanks may develop weakened joints and the silicone could also deteriorate in storage over time and when subsequently moved, so have to check and test thoroughly before actual usage.

    Re: Help me with my new 4ft tank!!

    I just finished setting up the pipes last night!! Haven't put water tho.. Probably gonna put water after adding some filter media to trap the dusts.

    The sump doesn't leak! I washed that already!

    Re: Help me with my new 4ft tank!!

    I found out from the previous owner of the tank that his tank was only unused for 10months or so, although it was in use for at least 6 years.

    But anyway!!! I ran some water through the tank today and the pipes were working fine!!
    And as you can see, I only used one chamber of the sump tank cuz I didn't buy enough media...

    Can someone recommend what other media should I add?? I have the sponges and ceramic rings!!

    Gonna wait till Wednesday night to start aquascaping the tank!!! Anything I should take note when first setting up the aquascape?

    Nice tank and cabinet!

    Did you fill the tank up to the brim to test for leakage? better do so in case there is a leakage after you scape nicely .... waste a bit of water better then waste lots of effort!

    Re: Help me with my new 4ft tank!!

    only fill up the main tank? you do not have a valve to shut off the main tank water to flow to sump?
    better do it just in case...
    after that use the water to wash toilet or wash the corridor lor...

    Nope! No valve... But when I was cleaning the main tank I didn't notice any leaks.. So it should be fine right? HAHA

    Re: Help me with my new 4ft tank!!

    that is up to you then
    think of this..
    after adding 4 packets of soil, put in the rocks and pebbles, do all the planting (if any) happily fill up with water....
    then start to see water dripping out... what will you do and intend to do?
