I saw the GC updates! Good on you eddy! I have been following your journal for awhile and I must say that I am very impressed with your work here!I might set one up, in time to come. 2 tanks at home is enough to take up most of my time
Need something to scratch that itchy hand of mine.
Don't act smart. Be smart!
Hi mince meat
Thanks for supporting my thread, I really do love to meet you in person there. Do drop over and register if you can, you will learn more from the person himself!
Hi Eddy, I just sign up to attend all the sessions! See you there!!!
so sad that i cannot attend....maybe next time ....
Hi eddy ,
Just went though all the 15 pages of your D.I.Y story and happen to saw you D.I.Y your rack.
May i know where can you get your wood from and is it possible i make a 3tier wood rack
for my 2ft fish tank can they support the weight ? 2ftx1ftx2ft tank 1 and 2 and last tank 2ft x 1ft x1ft ?
Cause i was quote with 3 tier stand $160+$50 transport fee and this make my mind of D.I.Y my own
wood rack and cabinet myself.
Thanks

By the time you're done choosing suitable wood material (in Eddy's case, it's chengai wood), measuring/squaring/cutting wood to planned dimensions (factor in availability of power tools), necessary hardware (screws, bolts, nuts, etc), assembly and smell of glue, a place to do all your work (rental?), PLUS having to lug the whole thing home... I think you'll look back and preferred to spend that $210... that is, if your DIY rack isn't wobbly and still ready for use...
DIY projects are very satisfying BUT it doesn't ALWAYS mean cost savings. Good luck.
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,

Thanks Ronwill after some thinking i find its quite troublesome so i went to look for another replacement and i finally found a 4 tier metel rack these industrial uand each tier can support up to max 150kg loads and was quote $140 for the length of 120cm +$10 installation and delivery charges. Anyway i really love your setup Eddy's , read your first tank and was attacked by termite.
Too bad my girlfriend always complain about i spending too much time on my tank
oh yes, I forgot to mention treating the wooden rack to minimize bug attacks as well!!
XiaoFeng, don't take what I listed as discouragement. Rather, think of the possibilities and satisfaction that comes with it, for without knowing and going through the time, effort and possible failure of your design, one will never be able to fully appreciate the dedication to seeing the completion of a project...
...and still wanting to go through all that crap again, like Eddy.

Xiaofeng, Eddy's goal was never cost savings to begin with actually.
More or less it is functionality and satisfaction, which why i also take my hats off the few DIY sensei. (plus the fact, they keep on doing it)
Most females are that way, no worries. (there are a few who are as poisoned as their soulmates)
Learning the hardway, not the highway.

Sometimes DIY is more about buying something and then fitting or modifying it better (or best) to your inidiviual needs. Tha's why DIY i more satisfying for more experienced people like Eddy. So someimes in order to save time and effort, we have to spend a little moeny to get things correct.
This is particularly true of power filters and custom DIY bio media, which is the 'biological engine' of the whole tank environment.
Hi Eddy,
I am researching on diy caves, using pebbles/slates. I am planning to make small caves for my mini crayfishes in a 14 litres of tank.
then I came across this thread where your expertise was mentioned on making rocks with styrofoam and cement.
I am not sure if this thread of yours covered that (because I have yet read thru all the pages) and I would be delighted if you can provide some pointers in making these rocks.
Thank you in advance.
I think I found it, should be this page.

I will read up in detail and the rest of the pages. I will post my questions if any. Thanks.
Amazing! I am impressed and inspired by your work!
Hi Eddy,
I would like to make a small cave using styrofoam and cement.
it will be 5" cube at most, very small size.
you have mentioned the following for your project.
-5 liters of concrete & bonding additive,
-2 kg of premixed concrete/sand/waterproof,
I will try to get these items from my neightbourhood hardware shop.
does that mean the above are 2 items only,
meaning concrete & bonding additive are premixed,
and the concrete/sand/waterproof are also premixed?
I will try to look for the styrofoam sheet also.
May I know where did you get your 4" thick styrofoam? Usually I see those thin ones only.
