Hello fellow reefers and aquarium enthusiasts, I am not a newbie to reef keeping but have been out of the loop for a while. I am absolutely 100% clueless of the reefing scene in singapore and this is where i ll be needing your help and suggestions. On the hardware side i ll need suggestions on where to buy a reef ready tank of 60"x24"x24" dimensions. And a good quality skimmer, pumps, LED lights etc ... livestock and supply wise as per my research all major shops seem to be located around the pasir ris area, please do suggest me a place where the livestock is good and the store ppl are friendly. Most of all i want to know the places which are economical and good. Other than that all your valuable suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Previous setup:

45gal, 150watt MH lighting 16k, DSB refugium/sump (15gal), canister filter for various media, assorted pumps etc

Livestock: 1 pair true percula clowns

1 bicolor blenny

4 blue green chromis

2 cleaner shrimp

1 blue zebra reef safe hermit crab

Innumerable sabelastarte tube worms

Assorted miscellaneous critters

Corals: 1 plate brown montipora

1 bushy blue acropora

1 brown millepora

1 closed brain coral

1 pink goniopora

Blue palethoas

Green zoanthids

Welcome Blesson to the forum! Your best bet for hardware will be to engage our friendly sponsors on this forum. Usually its hard to find a reef ready tank that is already made to your desired dimensions, my suggestion will be to custom make one, along with the stand and sump. Prices are definitely more reasonable as compared to purchasing a pre built, or manufacturer branded. On top of that, you get to decide with recommendations from tank maker on your sump design and skimmer size dimensions.

If u going to engage a good tank maker, most of the time, they can fulfill your equipment requirements as well.

Livestock wise, its encouraged that you spend some time going around the marine fish shops on this sunny island. List of all the marine fish shops can be found http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/forum/52-lfs-directory-listings/ . If you are looking for something in particular, just post it in our "Weekly local fish stocks report" and we can guide u if we've come across it at a particular shop.

Good luck with your tank build! Always the most exciting phase!
