Where to find them? Thinking of getting about 4-5ft ones for display in 6mths time but seem like not common leh. BTW, is it worth it, quality and price-wise as compared to normal cabinet type tanks.

I think not practical unless you are living in Germany, imported tanks are expensive, especially German stuff, one 4 ft Eheim tank can get you two 6 fts Singapore tank on a budget setup.

4ft Eheim tank about S$1800, and its those type of smaller 4 fts only, 75 gallons. But comes with a 2028 I heard.

6 ft Singapore tank about S$600 each, 180 gallon, so two 6ft is S$1200/-, left another S$600 for a double tier ultra thick black metal stand.

The dimension also might not be suitable, if I remember its something like 48X16X20 ? Good for tetras and barbs or angelfish, but cichlids maybe need more space.

Wah $1800!!!!

Was thinking of getting one swee swee for display. Saw Sun Sun at C328 but cabinet like using "recycled wood" like that.

Any LFS stock a lot of cabinet tanks besides C328 and Rainbow?

Skimp, I remembered reading from another forum of this Eheim tank. The owner had constantly drip some water & it flow down 2 the cabinet. The wood started 2 expand n desintegrate. The cabinet is made of compressed recycled wood [ I think ]. It's better 2 customised ur tank for that kind of budget.

That's pretty bad man.

Thanks for the info guys. We'll scour around the island for that dream tank.
