    Hi folks,

    I'm must admitted I had already gone crazy and I want more, i mean crazy over another new difficult challenging project.This time will be gone lagi mega, taller and deeper.

    I'd already got my wife's approved to DIY another mega one in my living hall, But how am i going to look for this tank? Will it be as cheap as my monster tank?

    I give myself 1-2 months to design to build or hunt for this tank. Anyone there notice or seen such tank to be given away or sell , let me know, please.

    Will upload and share my new design of 5-6ft tall palu soon.

    Let me know your thoughts

    Re: Proposal of 5-6ft tall 3x3 tank for my new paludarium project.

    Yo Eddy, I totally understand the craziness or poison you're experiencing, but I doubt you'll be able to find a 2nd hand 5or6x3x3 ft tank in any marketplace or buy/sell forums…

    I can however recommend you a tank maker who has done numerous projects for big organizations and can proudly say made quite a few odd shape and sizes tank…

    I may be wrong but for a tank with 5or6x3x3 ft it may set you back $3.5k to $5k but I may be wrong

    And also with a 3ft height, you'll need lights that can penetrate that deep and using MH would not be ideal as the heat generated and the high consumption of electricity may just give your wife a big

    I would suggest using LEDs and this tank maker do have some new LEDs set that can penetrate as deep as 4-5 metres but I do not know how much it'll cost, in the long run LEDs will still be more cost efficient

    Lastly with that size of a tank what theme do you plan to have? The plants, the background, water area and lastly the faunas… but of course you're already planning an drawing them out as I type this…

    Hope to see your master plan soon

    P.S. I'm not related to this particular Tank Maker but just that he has done some of my tanks and setups and I've seen his work as well as am interested in getting the LEDs set from him as well

    3 x 3 x 6 is a unusual dimension , might have to custom make it , have you consider a 5 x 2.5 x 2.5 tank placed vertical ?

    With a 3x3x5/6, he could do a real waterfall setup and the splash area would be contained by the 3x3ft area at the base. With ferns and orchids hanging at the side. The 3x3ft base could be a mini pond with terrapin or some medium sized fishes. I don't think this obsession is crazy, my believe is for a person to try how far he can go with what he has.

    Hey Eddy, seriously ah 5ft Custom made tank with sliding doors only $500??? That's extremely cheap already! Can PM me the contacts for the tank maker? The last I ask for a 3ft with sliding doors is already $350!

    Ok we'll be eagerly waiting for your new Palu and Openhouse

    That's the problem, I've already maxed out on the no. of tanks available at home... the wife is already giving me an Ultimatum sighz... unless I can convince her otherwise

    But I guess a quote is harmless

    eddy, I just did a quick calculation for a 30 Cree DIY LED Light, it should amount to about SGD$350-400 or more depends on how fancy you want it.

    but considering how much cooler they'll be than using MH and the electricity savings, might be worth it.

    This guy is the guy with one of the best DIY LED light tutorial so far I've found. 24 Crees White and 24 Royal Blues for a total of 48 for his marine tank. But he bought his LEDs at this place which cost twice as much as DealExtreme, and the other stuff will be cheaper in Singapore, so his costings might not be accurate.
