Bro, really thanks for your detail explanation with pix. Can ask you is it easy to maintain the base? Normal scrub will be enough? Thanks!

Yes easy to scrub with those normal soft sponge ..... should have taken when it was newly set-up .... more sparkling .:D ( All this photos are like a quick snap with my hp for sharing )

My tank beside window and direct sunlight thus the algae .

Anyone who has the same dimension as mine and want to do the base can pm me for the exact dimension .

Ok getting too many pm for how to measure , i'm trying to draw out standard tank size like

5x2.5 and 6x2.5 tank with sump first . For those having odd dimension pls bear with me for awhile first .

Need to know how to use those drawing software like paint ? Or if not i will just take pic or scan my drawing and upload here .


Again pls comfirm your bracing measurement before u pm me .
MEASURE the bracing from external , or go to ur tank top view and visualize and measure . The 2.5W if width 3" bracing from all tankmakers should be standard 4 side 3 " . For the Length i need some time to calculate using my 6.5ft lenght tank . Again pls bear with me. Holiday today also busy need to run errand lah ....HAPPY VESAK DAY everyone in AF !!! :D

Flairtender 24-05-2013 11:23 PM

Ok here goes the 5ft X 2.5ft tank dimension first .

MAKE SURE U COMFIRM YOUR BOTTOM BRACING IS 4 SIDE 3"
AND THE EOS SIDE DIMENSION IS SAME AS MINE THEN U CUT .

I hold no responsibility if u cut wrong size !!!

( To play safe u just go popular or big stationery shop to buy those thick corrugated sheet to cut with penknife and try out first . )
Buy 1 big pc and cut the EOS side to try . ( u will see if the slanted part and width will sit in nicely below ur tank )
