Natural sea water user pls come in

[tigershark]

since the begining of my tank setup, im using synthetic salt mix for my tank. However. I believe the tap water quality for Yishun is geting bad to worse few years back.

Recently, i switch to NSW for water change and the result is quite suprising. the algea problem is very much improved, my coral is healthier...

My NSW supply is from Pasir Ris and its a bit too far for me. Wondering any NSW user outthere can recomend me any supply of NSW at reasonable price? I'm using 20L Jellycan to transport my NSW currently.

Bro, i when i started my tank, i bought 3 jerry cans of NSW from ah pek.

It's commonly known as T95 (It's in seletar farm 4 i think). I'm assuming u drive.

1) Take CTE > SLE

2) Exit at Jalan Kayu/Seletar (they're the same exit, the sign will read both)

3) Drive towards the roti prata place (or AM), you gotta pass AM...

4) After which, you'll drive past a Mobil station on your right.

5) After that, turn right at the 2nd junction. Note: when you make the turn, you should see a nursery at the junction. (NOT those for kids!!! For plants yah...)

After you turn into the road, the nursery MUST be on your left. If it's not, then it's a wrong turn you made.

6) Drive straight down the bumpy roads, it's a farm, so dun expect nice smooth road. You'll see lotsa fish farm flanking you on both sides.

7) About 300m down, go real slow, you'll see a small black/blue signboard on your left that says "Marine 95" or "95 Marine" in yellow text. Remember, the trick is go slow, and look out for a small signboard, the size about A3 landscape size.

8) Drive up an even more bumpy slope, you'll reach T95. (If your car is lowered, then dun bother, just park outside and walk up the slope, but i just wonder how you're going to lug the jerry down the slope into your car. hahaha)

9) Bring cash there, no NETS or CREDIT! He has got lotsa corals and fish (hey, it's a farm, not shop)... And sometimes, he'll sell stuff in his show tank... hehe...

Look for the very old ah pek in specs, be nice to him... he's a very nice person... Try to converse with him in Hokkien, it'll help a lot.

Previously, I borrowed 3 jerry cans for him, which he T-Loaned me for about a week. At a small nominal deposit (he complained that he used to be a nice person and loan it out, but they never came back!)

Price: One full jerry can - $3 only!!! (I would assume its a 20l jerry can) + whatever fee he wants to collect from you as deposit.

anyone knows where izzit??? if too far from Yishun, I would rather go T95. 1 dollar cheaper might cost me extra $5 petrol in the end..

[tigershark]

btw, i really dun undestand Y i didnt use NSW all along, for the past 6 yrs in this hobby, i were using syn salt all along. Every water change will more or less causing stressed to my softies & LPS. now, with NSW, i can even perform a 50% change during emergency without any worry...

Unless you are around the west, else definitely not worth the petrol.

NSW doesn't really guarantee that your LPS and corals wun stress... coz you never know what's in it.

But like you, i would prefer to NSW, save lotsa time.
