Hi guys, I'm Billy from Sabah, Malaysia. I was so happy that I finally got the "approval" to build a 7ft tank. Although I hope I could make a 8ft but due to space constraint, I have to change my plan to 7ft. Although that was kinda disappointed but, It's ok, I still happy with this plan. Just some of my background on how I started this hobby. In beginning of 2015, I accompany my uncle to LFS to purchase some fish food for Arowana and here I saw the only reef tank in the shop which consist of two little clown fish playing around with the anemone, they seems like so enjoy it. So here's my hobby started. I was dreaming that, if one day I could have my own tank then it will be good. After few months, my dream come true, I manage to own a 4 by 2 by 2 reef tank.
In year 2016, I have to decom this tank due to my father was admitted to hospital because of brain lymphoma cancer, therefore I have to fly to Singapore for every two weeks and this continue for almost a year. I really got no time to take care of this tank so I sell most of the coral, live rock and fishes back to LFS. But Thanks God that my father is getting better now and he had gone through all the treatments, now he just waiting for recovery. Thus, I got the chance to step back to this hobby again and build a new tank. Meanwhile in waiting for my 7ft tank to complete, I started to collect some of the coral for future use.
This is the place where I plan to put my new aquarium, although the window is at the back, but when the tank is ready, the curtain will be close for all the time.
As I believe this tank will consume a lot of electricity, therefore, I decided the setup a whole new wire from the main switchboard in order to support all my equipment.
Opss, I just realised that I forgotten to take the photo for this outcome
(will add in in the future). Furthermore, as my family business nature was timber industry, therefore, it is an advantages for me to make a wood stand. So, currently I'm using Belian to build my stand. Just a brief introduction for this species. Belian (scientific name: Eusideroxylon zwageri) is a solid wood and it also consider as one of the most durable timber in the world. Most of the time people use this to build resort. As it resistant to water. Although it will rotten in the future but it really take a very long time to happen.
The measurement for the stand is 85" x 34" x 36". So I will just stop it here, will keep and update when the stand is ready.
Stay tune.
