What is your preferred tank size?

[Justikanz]

in due course...two months perhaps, xmas round the corner[broke]...will do a photo journal...[lighting is a bee]

this 7.5' tank is planned to be altum tank. i want 14" altums!

Oh great!... That would be something to look out for... Always love to see BIG tanks... And altums would look great in tall tanks...

i have another 5 footer for discus...

Is it planted? Can show this?

got a 3 footer now which is nice but can't really plant the jungle plants...bolbitis-swords...etc. [can but really not a milimeter to spare!]

Understand this... Even a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft is too small for a sword... I had to give one beauty up...

Btw, your avatar... a tv actress, right?... Like 'Ru Hua' of Taiwan... Haha...

hi thomas,

5 footer is cycling now...wood is leaching badly...and some fuzz[vacumable] stuck on it. will take a month more i think. everything is standing by already. wood has been two months in water already, too big to boil!

my tank 3x2x2 tank http://www.myfishforum.com/threa641.html which i like very much and i agree swords are huge, trimming is essential, they are magnificent since they make the fish look soo tiny!
my e rubin and uruguayensis, lotus are imposing...

so far 3, 5, 7.5. a 4 broke before.

the avatar is one of my talent[for a tvc] who is an indonesian sinetron actress. funny girl.

Standoyo, Nice tank you've got there...

The fuzz is the fungus... it will go away...

Me also floating wood now... Dun you hate it when they are still floaters?

Btw, you work for RTM?

Personally, i would like to own a 4ft, but guessed i would get a lots of complaints, like flat becomes too small to walk, electric & water bills upz & what's not . But come to think of it, if one can afford, the bigger the merrier.

I like 55cm (22in) better than 2ft height. Easier to work with, safer and cheaper in the glass, and allows to have a little more emersed growth, especially Aponogeton flowers.

As for the length, I like the american standard 3ft (3x1x1.5H) because it allows to play with small design ideas, at a low cost.

6 foot!!!!! only have a five foot....... lights dun come in my size....

hi ahkarboy,
there is, ai mi makes one, check it out at east aqua in ikano pet safari. aluminium finish, double tube. may need some modification to suit your power needs since we have limited top surface area. i have same problem. intend to overdrive the lamps 4x to get more output. apparently it's more efficient and we do chuck our lamps in a year. manufacturer make the lamps to last longer but overdriving it makes it more efficient according to some at another respectable forum like AQ.

i only know because i have same problem.
