Renovation Advise

[RAV-65]

Vincent,

As much as you didn't wan to consider Park Mall, i find IMM there also the chopper very sharp one.

But if you ever drop by IMM to see look, then you ought to check out a shop that do buit in marine tank for consumer, bet you will be very shock when they tell you how simple it is to maintain the tank.

somemore the staff told me his boss is a experienced dedicated reef keeper.

Dedicated Reefer Siah... tink only Reefaholic can say that... Btw, which floor is that shop located?

Anyway, might still pop by Park Mall to take a look, but where else can I go besides Park Mall and IMM & Millenia Walk??

Seems like I gotta really make lots of storage space!

As for the butt-washing thingy... will look into it...

[kelstorm]

[jc85]

Oh ya. Many magazine avail. I'll recommend those local ones, more relevant.

[RAV-65]

Wah... good idea... tink gotta go hang out at maybe kinokuniya!

Really Prefer to go for the minimalist look, which will require lots of storage space... but still looking at watever designs that may attract me...

[Melvyn Tan]

Hi Bro, u know of any gd contractor that do good jobs with decent pricing?

TIP, Image Creative (Superbrand), Joop seems to be on the high side since they are an IDs.

Yes my friend - you want a balance of both? workmanship & design?

[dainese]

hi bro Rav,exciting moments renovating house and furniture shopping.

4 furnitures u can look at sat newspapers coz a lot of furniture makers prefer to advertise on sat.don't know why but can get really good bargain.also u can go j.b to buy furnitures coz some of them provide delivery to s'pore.

i bought my sofa and bedroom set from J.B and saved $2K in the process.

also 4 reno maybe can try going to a interior designer.not really expensive as made out 2 be.i have a fren juz moved to Buangkok and engaged an int. designer 2 do the reno.i was suprised at wat $30K got him.really value 4 money if u ask me.

some more he say kena chop coz his fren same budget got more things done.

Juz my 2 cents.

[jc85]

Yes my friend - you want a balance of both? workmanship & design?

Actually, I more or less know what I want thus need a gd contractor that can help to do u the reno at a reasonable price with gd workmanship.

Anyone to recommend?

Please don't waste your time or money. This shop is called Atlantis and I have had the misfortune of buying a tank from them when I knew nothing about reefing.

The salesperson is all hot air and bullsh*t about his "years of reefkeeping" and "special bacteria". All you get is an super-expensive cabinet with a simple tank, internal overflow, filter wool, coral chip chamber and lousy pump. Do not be taken in by his sales jargon. I already scrapped the tank I got from him. My friend didn't, six months down the road *all* his fish are dead and even after 90% water change the new fish don't survive more than a month.

I did mine kitchen cabinet and bedroom wardrobe with Classic, Good quality IMO. They are located @ Tanjong Katong complex. You must pre book appointment before going down.

For other furniture you may also want to try OM. Got package deals, designer furniture @ competitive pricing.

better reefer? no lah just more careful and aware of what not to do... two words I've taken to heart - RESPONSIBLE REEFKEEPING. That's everyone's duty in this hobby.

[RAV-65]
