LFS

As a English guy in Bangkok its quite hard to get advice as my Thai isn't up to discussing in depth marine science in thai. also the range of dry goods seems quite limited in Thailand. I'm coming to Singapore for a week tomorrow, i'm after light timers, wave maker, PH meters. Which LFS in Singapore has a good selection of dry goods?

reef depot

aquamarine

though if you're after only electrical stuff.. I'd go sim lim tower (NOT square!!)

you can get ph pen/ meters , refractometers etc.. timers lights moon leds whatever electrical stuffs there

i think petmart is the place to go for additives and equipment needs. staff is rather friendly and prices are very reasonable !!

All the above mentioned LFS:

1) Reefdepot

2) AquaMarin

3) Petmart

are well established equipments LFS here in Singapore. One thing you will come to enjoy shopping in Singapore is... they are all price tagged. Prices are usually quite standard as Singapore is a very small country... no room for foul play. As a general guide, it's fair for you to ask for a 10% discount if you are to make a purchase above S$500.00 in a single receipt.

One set back is... I don't think there are any LFS in Singapore that can offer you VAT rebate. Sales tax is currently 5% and price shown is inclusive of it.

You can also consider visiting Aqua Mart (AquaMedic, Sicce and additives) coz they are in town area, fairly easy to get a cab there.

Have a wonderful shopping trip in Singapore... besides Hong Kong... Singapore is the best place to find imported stuff
