Hi, I'm an experienced reefer with 6 years of experience, but stopped around 2010.I decided to get my hands salty once more when I moved here in Singapore. Seems you guys have a nice reefing community here with good LFS support.

I live up north (Yishun) and was wondering where you guys buy your stock.

My main question is where do you guys buy the following:

1.) Live Sand & Rocks

2.) NSW.

I need a place near by as I don't have transportation to go to those farms tucked away in some hidden area.

We're nearby AquaStar LFS but their LS selection is horrible (sorry guys). I didnt even bother to ask if they sell rocks and sand. Their equipment stock is awesome though... will definitely frequent this LFS for my DIYs..

Can't wait to start my tank... i'll be doing a humble 2ft starter tank, btw.. I wanna get the feel first then upgrade later (or soon haha)

Thanks!

I think you are pretty much stuck with Aquastar in that area unless the next nearest should be pasir ris farm area.

Equipment wise they are well equipped but please be careful with additives as some bottles are really old. Double check before you get those

Nanyang Seaview with great pricing on equipment may move to bottle tree park soon. You can visit there end of this year or early 2013. I think ...

2 Feet Tank: (Decom Feb 2015)
-Lightings : Pharos LED light 90W with wireless controller
-Chiller : Arctica 1/10HP with H2Ocean Flow Pump 2000
-Wavemaker : Vortech MP10ES
-Skimmer : Bubble Magus NAC 3.5
-Return Pump : Eheim Compact 3000
-Reactor – TLF150 (Mod) with NP Biopellet
-Reactor – TLF150 with Rowaphos

I was afraid someone would say that... I may try the ones in Seletar West Farmway this weekend and maybe Aquamarin Aquatic in Paya Lebar.. If it's really troublesome then I guess ill just move onto planted tanks.. (but my salty itch is really calling me haha)

Actually, you can cycle from Yishun to Pasir Ris farm. Cycle to Seletar Airport, turn to ur left will lead u to punggol, heading to punggol PCN and straight to lorong halus wetland. From there, it takes 1min cycle to iwarna. I think it takes 20~30 mins overall. Not sure can fish takes this journey :)

Thanks Solo!

I'll try to contact Iwarna and see how...but my tank will only be a 15 gallon (w/o sump) and i doubt they'd deliver such a small quantity. ill still try though..
