    Because, I don't want to throw away what ever is inside. i intend to sell it the same price(or slightly cheaper). People buy the design of the scape, not for second hand.

    Besides, my next project won't be in a 1ft cube. Keep checking back for updates!

    nice concept you have there
    some lfses sell ready made setups with finished scapes
    you might just be the 1st hobbyist to try doing that too

    lets see how your scape turns out then

    no offense but imo no serious hobbyist will be buying a whole complete scaped setup from you unless its on a discount (and then 'cause of the equipment! )
    isnt the fun of the hobby is to setup, design and finally do up the scape by oneself?
    not get a ready made one!

    personally i would buy 2nd-hand ada equipment if at a reasonable price
    but definitely not the scape as it would take the whole fun out of it

    haha. Instead of everybody decom the tank and sell seperately. Some people Don't like to create another tank again from scratch, Or simply just like the looks of it(as no two woods are the same? )(no design can be the same? )

    Yes i will put in my best of efforts I only sell what i will buy

    Agree. Sam pets is one lLFS that sell ready-to-sell tanks. But IMO their design is not my type, nor what i like, hence i choose to do it myself
    Of course, Equipment will have to be on discount. What is inside(+ effort) will not be

    refreshing idea
    hope it turns out well

    at least its a small tank this time so transporting the thing when you do sell is not that huge a problem

    I do agree that if you are targeting fellow hobbist from forums to buy the whole scape & setup would be quite hard. most would tend to like to buy yr equipment only.

    any updates on your tank progress ?

    Just to add... the easiest way to transport a tank (with scaping inside) is to have overgrown foreground plants. This will allow the new owner to move the tank without stirring up all the soil during transport and refilling.

    Those tanks at Sam's Pet (Marine Parade) are really not my kinda scaping and most of them goes by a 3-digits price tag

    Totally agree with you Jervis.

    And yes, they are just there to rip your money off. What they are selling does not justify that enormous price tag. And IMO, they're aquascaping(if you call that aquascaping)...

    just Kay Poh a bit, what is the objective of setting up this tank?
    Because I find it hard to believe that you spend so much time, money and effort to set it up, and then the tank not even mature, you have the idea to sell it away.

    I have posted before the answer to your question, please read before asking. Also this is my journal, i write whatever i feel and do. This journal is about the tank, Don't know why it evolved around "selling".

    it evolved around selling because you mentioned selling within such a short period..
    will just enjoy the pictures of your tank...
    sorry for being a busy body...

    bro,

    in my opinion the tonina is a very beautiful plant with bright colour and interesting form compared to other stem plants, why not put it in some place where it can be seen?

    or i jumped the gun and should have waited for the final scaping?

    Just my tiny 2 cents

    I would suggest the tonina in the right midground planted as a "bush". these tonina fluviatus grow moderately slowly and are thus ideal as midground highlights that don't need frequent trimmings to stay as a bush unlike most other stems
