The price he quoted me is not super cheap nor ex, but i find it reasonable.

When i bought the rocks from him, he even give me a styrofoam box.

Older generation do business this way la, he may sound hostile but that is their culture.

Hehe, quite true about his "quite a character"! But i try to talk to him with manner and respect, he returned me back with better approached. In the other angle, the aunty quite friendly.

just came back from the jalan kayu marine shop. they had some liverock sunbathing. some are quite dry out and sone are ptobably out of water couple of days only. bought a few pcs and the uncle said usually the dead live rock go fast.

Also in the process to setup a 40 gallons tank, i would rather get those second hand skimmer than any HOB type.

If you are staying at the east, u can try pasir ris farmway. Both ah bend and auntie shops are within the same pocket, directly opposite them, AquaEmpire also carry some stuffs for marine tank. After visted this 3 places, just take a 10 minutes walk to Iwarna. You can give coralfarm and the famous shop at lim chu kang a miss cos they are not really into equipments. Aquamarine at paya lebar also another place you can go but do take note tha they are moving soon! Heard that they will move back to jalan kayu area. Madzpets will be a nice place to go see see look look and of cos make purchase if u wish to, the boss very friendly and willing to share his knowledge, although shop is no that big but cosy!

DIY a simple 2 stages DI system, buy fittings/tubings, cannister, refillable cartridges and media like activated carbon and ion exchange.

i have about 120 pcs of bio balls to give away. not using. interested bro can pm me. thanks

1 thing i notice is that many reefer that have 4x2x2 and above will have problem to remove the tank from house.

If you looking to install condenser unit for chiller, if stay hdb,think older flat not allow to install 2 condenser externally.

recently check with n30 on a 2x2x2ft with sump and cabinet. price quite reasonable. but that was for standard cabinet design. for your cabinet, cos it is not common therefore it is better u visit them to check.

Recommended circulating of 10x in the display tank, work from there! But be sure that your overflow matching too, to assist this can adjust one of your wavemaker to create flow toward the IOS as well as the size for the drian pipe.

Aquamarine at paya lebar do marine tank design and set up, if you are not those DIY type, you can engage these people to do everything for u.

You can try N30 in ang mo kio, been to the place, lot of finished tank and lead time still take 4 weeks, but the workmanship very good. Alternatively you can make tank and sump only with no.3 kelantan road, no so pro, but very short lead time abt 5 days, they don do cabinet. If you looking for standard tank like 3x1.5x2 with ios and sump and cabinet, aqua empire in pasir ris got ready unit at abt $1.4 estimated.
