Default 12ft FGT setting up...


Just wanna share the new 12x4x3ft FGT whole setting up process till complete. Personally I always like to keep a record of my tank/pond setting process. As I wish to get comment/advice from experienced bros to further improve the setup if any. All comments are welcome. Enjoy...

After 1 week plus of waiting, the special custom made 12ft FGT has finally arrived today


The giant FGT estimated over 200+kgs, and requires 10 adults male to carry up onto the small lorry


Unwrapped the plastic. The 12 footer comes with an 8x2ft 12mm front glass panel and a 3x2ft 12mm glass panel on the right side

This 12ft fgt is massive & huge. Even though I have mentally prepared regarding the size, but when it arrives, I still shocked by its gigantic size and look


The back view of the FGT


How are we going to get the 12ft length over 200+kgs FGT passes through the corridor without scratching or knocking??


Finally decided to lay down the FGT from the side, thus it could pass through the corridor narrowly

Even just to lay down the fgt to the side also a tough job

The most diffulty part coming. There is a door stair blocking the path. They need to keep adjusting and slowly move the fgt in

Alamak, how we going to make the thing through


Just keep trying and pushing


Pulling from the other side. A great applause to Ah Mok (who can speak fluent Madarin) for using his maximum effort to pull the heavy FGT in




Finally reach the destinate location to place the FGT

It is another round of tough job to turn the FGT back to its original position within such limited spaces. Remember, this thing weight over 200+kgs with 12ft length & 4ft wide
