u may wanna PM bawater, think it oso has some good deals with tanks

[DEA]

when i bought my 4 x 1.5 x 1.5 tank maybe like 6 months ago, i got it for 85 from soon heng
i should think prices shouldn't have changed much

[Goodfish]

i found 4x1.5x1.5at $60 in package 3.

[Vican]

Isn't 8mm for 4x2x2 a little on the thin side?

[ws]

Ideally the thickness should be 12mm. Are you keeping fw or sw?

Wats that?SW & FW?anyone know meaning of 'fen'in chinese?2 1/2 fen =?
----------------

SW=saltwater
FW=freshwater

you need more thickness for saltwater aquarium due to density of saltwater (ie heavier).

Fen = 1/8 inch
2.5 fen about 8 mm.

Goodfish, where did you find the 4x1.5x1.5 at $60? What is the thickness? Where can I get it? I just need the tank.

[eZion]

Thanks for the info. I thought such a good deal until you said the tank is 6mm only...I want one that is at least 8mm. I think I give this one a miss then. Cheers[]

yah lah insult my age lah anyway luckily finally got a few old man own up older than me kekekekeke []

[Goodfish]

never mind lah! older usually more experience mah!i old but inexperience,need advise from friends here leh!

[Scuba SnOOpy]

Er...how does one determine the exact or minimum thickness needed for a tank ? is there a formula to it.

I am keeping FW fishes.

Thanks

[DEA]

no such calculations
except
the thicker the better
for tanks up to 1.5 ft it's recommended for 6mm and above
up to 2 ft and above 10mm and above

my custom made tank from bioplast is 70cm tall, 10mm thick glass

[Goodfish]

[] i cancelled my previous tank order,after considering comments from friends here. now thinking of 4x2x2 10mm glass not more than$210 a friend can get for me from his tank supplier friend.comments?interested?

[Goodfish]

so,is 10mm thick glass safe for 4X2X2 for FW? $200 ok?can get at this price from friend.

[DEA]

4x2x2 10mm glass for 200 should be a good price
if it's polished glass, omfg, grab grab
my 2ft tank was quoted 400 by soon heng and 600 by happy
polished glass 10mm oso
