New reefer to be

[Jonathan Teoh]

_{Hi Guys,}

_{I have been reading up the pass few weeks on saltwater aquariums and i am amazed at the body of knowledge this hobby has to offer. I decided to make a move tomorrow by purchasing basic equipments and to begin the cycling process. I understand there are many shops around but can anyone advise which shop would be more suitable for a starter like me?}

_{I live in Toa Payoh Estate but i would travel as far as i need to find a good shop that has good reputation and are patient for new comers.}

Thanks!

IMO, acrylic although clarity is good, scratches too easily.. i suggest you can custom make crystal glass panels if you want clearer display..

as for other stuff like lightings, skimmer, powerhead, salt and etc.. i suggest you decided on what kind of stuff you want to keep... simple FOWLR, easy corals or aiming to keep SPS in the future.. all their requirements are different..

Just my 0.2cent worth.. im also a new reefer like you!

Anyway, i haven't been to any farm that sells lots of equipments but for LFS wise.. i think madpetz has the best service and knowledge.. they will be able to guide you through and they should have most of the equipments you need.
