to a certain extand it will bengkak in the center of the tank but if if you place a support at the bottom, no problem.

the contractor ask what colour we want.. so we decided to make it natural fibreglass colour... means no color added in the resin... normally they'll add blue colour in the resin so the whole thing look blue. like your tanks....

thanks for clear it up,as i tot that the colour the u want might some special effect on the goldfishes.

the reason the i'm asking the colour is that i excidently found that the colour on the back ground influence the colouration on goldfish.

I hv a black tube was actually a tanki(water storage) for home used.it was so tall that my friend cut it lower that i want and put some goldfish in with green water.Red cap Oranda that i can think off .Add 5 of them for several month b4 my fibre glass that i order arrival.

What i had found that the carpet algae is not light green but very-very dark blakish green algae and the water turn brownish green.
First i tot might be the sunlight.soon found out that not my problem as more than 6 hour of sunlight is enough.later i found out that the dark black ground is not a good idea as my Red Cap Oranda hv a very blood red 'wen' BUT with a very yellowish body.I m so heart sick when the result is out that the body should be snowky white not yellowish.Can't do any thing and keep until the fibre glass arrival.

the same fish was place in the new home with deep blue colour(as normal colour seen common in our local market).the algae seem o.k and the white colour seen yellow but not like the previous more barker.never try the light blue colour fibre glass as my mom took it for cloth washing.

I was tot that the colour of ur fibre glass might hv some effect on the white tone in ranchu.

IMT(In My Teori),

I think that the colour of the back ground can hv some effect on goldfish colouration.what is ur oppinion?.thanks.

Same to me here,look forward to see the result.

BTW,
when i go through the Japanese Ranchu pages, most of the colour of their fibre tanks is light blue colour.

IMT,
i think the white base(snow white) of the ranchu with light background might influence the colouration .

The tank still lying in the same place at the moment. Due to heavy work load in the office, naturally, when i got home, I'll turn on the lazy mode... hehehe

guys, need to wait for a while huh... but i know vincent has started working on his already.. will update soon.

I think colour makes not much difference...

1) cement and blue colour tank has the same result
2) if we have carpet algea, the wall will be very dark colour already no matter what background it has
3) when you use green water, the effect is the same.

also, when you mentioned brown water, it is actually another type of floating algea according to 伊東 website. Vincent is doing the translation at the moment and will be readied soon. I thas more or less the same effect with the green water. Some poeple might think it is the dead floating algea and actually it is not. it is in the "red algea" catagory if not mistaken.
