    Anyone knows the price of 5' tanks at H2O?

    I'm considering doing an internal sump on the back wall of the tank instead of the side. Dunno if H2O does any extra glass works?

    There is a new tankmaker shop in Simei, next to the Kopitiam coffeeshop next to the MRT.

    Price for a 4x2x2 with cabinet is about $1300 (with internal overflow)
    Tank is about $250. The guy charges for cabinet by per foot run, just like your furniture maker.

    He told me that he's into furniture business.

    So those looking for tanks might wanna take a look.

    But, go for higher specs as the default specs are not too good. Even at higher specs, the tank + cabinet is still relatively cheaper than elsewhere.


    BTW, I've seen this amazing tank at 35F Lor Halus. The 4x2x2 is using 8mm glass all around. The cabinet is supported by only 0.5" plywood with no internal wood structural support!

    The tank has been used for quite a while, from the looks of things, I'm amazed that it's not leaking or the cabinet has not dropped to the floor

    Pardon my ignorance... when talking about tank glass thickness say 10mm. Is this meant for the base only or the side glass as well.

    Btw, anyone have H20 address?

    Thank you.

    i take it as you want the sump to be at a back corner?
    if at center if your tank is deep and against a wall you have maintence problem.

    I find their tanks are rather narrow and shallow. The cabinets are super low.

    Help me understand.. if the dimension of the tank is fixed, how can a tank be consider 'narrow and shallow'??

    A 6x2x2 will be 6x2x2 no matter what, right?

    If u r talking abt just the glass tank itself minus the hood and stand, try the glassmaker in one of those shophouses nearby Kelantan Lane in Downtown.

    I order a 4ft tank and was sent to my place, all for just S$160.

    As for the hood and stand, not sure if they sell or can make for u.
