Thanks bro and Bboy for visiting.
We will be presenting the journey on getting this tank in place; hope not too lengthy as we glad to have gained experience through
- manufacturing constraint where no raw material available locally
- customer need where The Task is to construct a monster sea life aquarium that enhance the customer product (oceanic related).
