1. Why Old Fish Tank Disposal Is Tricky

Fish tanks are more than just glass containers:

• Heavy and fragile — large aquariums can weigh over 100 kg

• Contains electronics like filters, heaters, or pumps

• Can include decorations, gravel, or water, adding extra weight

• Must be disposed responsibly due to glass and plastic components

2. Risks of DIY Fish Tank Removal

Many attempt to move a tank themselves, but risks include:

• Glass breakage causing injuries

• Damage to floors, walls, or elevators

• Spilled water leading to slips or property damage

• Strain from lifting heavy, awkward items

3. Residential Fish Tank Disposal Concerns

a) HDB Flats

• Narrow corridors and lifts make moving tanks difficult

• Professional movers dismantle tanks carefully and transport safely

b) Condos

• MCST guidelines for lift reservations

• Avoid disturbances to neighbors

c) Landed Homes

• Staircases or multi-storey homes require special equipment and planning

d) Safety for Family Members

• Fragile glass and heavy tanks can pose risks to children, elderly, or pets
