    Think your overall setup will look better if tank is same length as the cabinet.

    Yeah.the cabinet is made bigger because of the chiller. I know but i was calculating the volume of water inside. I cannot maximize the efficiency of my chiller and canister filter if i make the tank same size as the cabinet. Thats why I end up with a "table top" design inside of the conventional cabinet look.

    thanks. its solid wood frame with plywood. 5 blue notes $250 from malaysia. He makes tank too but i trust davidsws better so my tank is not made by him can email the tankmaker at [email protected] very friendly guy.

    I will be slowly introducing plants in as I go along. But shrimps might be a month later. I would like the tank to be properly cycled first.

    its thick for better insulation so that the temperature can be maintain

    Do the package state that it has to be washed/boiled every month to remove the toxics built in it?

    I have thrown the package but just I gave the charcoal a light wash and just throw directly into the tank. It takes a few days for it to sink around 2 days for me

    Okay, because from what I read from people in other forums, you need to boil the charcoal bamboo every month so that the toxins in the bamboo will be removed.
