Haha ... if change stand every year then jia lat loh...
Then how to get the stand to be epoxy coated?... Is epoxy like those spray cans paint? Buy a few cans and coat a few layer?

Don't use WI stand, confirm will rust in abt 2-3 mths. Even stainless steel stand may rust at the welded joint area. Look for used tank cabinets, much more cheaper.

Thank you all for the kind response!
I think i will consult the tank makers when i ask for the quotation before i decide anything.

One more question to ask...
If i am going to start a fowler tank initially, would 4 x T5 , 2 blue 2 white, be sufficient? When the tank settle down liaoz then i can just add 2 x 150w mh then can go into some corals and clams rite?
Errm ... moderators dun mind i side track a bit..
