bro, if u go directly to glass maker/supplier will be cheaper.
when i was in interior firm.....$1.5/sqf for 6mm thickness
u'll need to pay a little bit more for hole drilling and small quantity purchase ( only 2 pcs of glass ).

thanks for the lobang, will check it out soon.

arodoggy? haha..

previous owner's oyama was pretty badly pasted.. me and my bro decided to redo the whole aluminium bracing.

side done..

thats the area the tank will be.. and how messy the whole living room is.. and thats my lazy dog.

1.30am, end job. and i just found out that my tank is 3 inch smaller than 4ft thanks to the styrofoam board. =.=


tomorrow will proceed to stand painting and boxing up of stand.

morning wake up.. sand down my dirty and badly rusted stand. took me 3 hours of sanding.. using no.200 first than no.600.


noon time painted it and left outside to dry.


corogated plastic(hope i did not get the name wrong)
for DIY cabinet aka boxing up of tank.


my brother assist me in this big project.. he is really a great help.. hope he enjoy the new tank.


finally tank is up by 10pm.. althought it dosn't looks that nice.. at least nicer than bare bare stand.. and thats my dog in tank for photo taking.

from Popular.. $3.15 for a 80x50cm piece.. bought a total of 8 piece for this DIY..
using cable tie to secure it on the stand.
