Better Transparency Glass Tank

**Nicky** · 24th Apr 2003, 22:33

I remembered when Aquamart was selling TMG (did I get the shop name right?) they used to custom-made tanks for customer with quite a few options with regards to glass clarity.

Anyone knows if they are still offering the tank making service?
Also, anyone knows of anybody who can offer tank-making service with those better glass?

I remembered one of the sale-person (Aquamart) showed a couple of pcs of glass samples to one potential customer and one pc was really very 'transparent' when view from the side.

I have a very clear tank at home. But I will not recommend the seller to anyone because the cabinet sucks BIG TIME. Both my swing doors of the cabinet has 'popped' off because the cabinet is made of 'chip-board'.

I just hope that when the tank collapse no one will be at home to be killed

since you know that you cabinet will give way, why not empty your tank and change the cabinet.
not advisable to wait for the 'accident' to happen.
it is not child's play to have a tank falling onto the floor.

Hi Nicky are you referring to diamond glass? These glass are really expensive and how you tell them apart from normal glass is by looking at the side....diamond glass will be almost crystal clear while regular glass will be green.

There are only two makers that I know with this glass is System and Control and the tank maker at Geylang...cannot remember the name....sorry

Cousin of the Soon Hock (aka marble goby)... Just kidding.

Soon Heng is (I think) the tank maker near Geylang that David was talking about. It's quite near the the end of Gullimard rd that joins to Paya Lebar Rd.

isn't Soon Heng actually on Guillemard Rd? next to the canal (think it is Sungei Geylang). It is opposite the back gate of 1 SIR (the camp still there right!?)
