Where can I get kanaplex in Singapore?

Thanks everyone for your advice! Where's a good place to get good quality live rock? Not much space for volume, so I want to get good quality one.

Thanks! I'll drop by madpetz. Reefdepot is also nearby there isn't it? I recall seeing it when driving out of sin ming towards thompson road. What cleanup crew should I be looking at aside from 2x clownfish? Decommissioning the freshwater IQ5 today!

Thanks bro! I will try with the iq5 then. No harm upgrading the pump in case I decide I want to go with corals. After all, if I'm going to upgrade the lights I may as well add in a few more simple corals Will definitely go for local bred clowns, that's my intention all along...can you recommend a source? By the way, for substrate, is it essential to use coral sand? I prefer black sand

Thanks bro! So in summary, my current IQ5 will be sufficient for a pair of clownfish if I do 20-30% weekly water change and switch the pump? Or should I still upgrade to the OF tank? I don't foresee myself wanting corals except maybe zoas, so I doubt I'll upgrade the light.

I've been feeling very itchy to start a marine pico tank for my office. Ideally is to have 1-2 clown fish and maybe 1 firefish. Currently using a Dymax IQ5 for a freshwater setup - that's too small right? If I upgrade to the OF 1ft cube you're using, would it be fine for me not to use a HOF? (Office not too much space and rather not have too much splashing). Is the stock pump easy to self-change to a tunze universal mini? If so, I can switch stock pump to a tunze mini and install another tunze mini at the side for more flow (or will a single tunze mini be enough?). Plan is probably for FOWLR, at most a few very very simple corals (any recommendation would be appreciated). Stock lighting enough? How about 2x Dymax NX5? Would installing a Dymax IQ Skimmer help in reducing required water change? I intend to do 10% per week even with the skimmer installed. For filtration, I was thinking of leaving it to the live rock + zeolite/phosban. This will be my first marine setup, but I've been doing months of reading up.

Hi sorry just to check, is the spray coating transparent? Do I just spray it over the entire surface of my LEDs/wires?

Thanks, I contacted them and their staff told me that they do have existing stock in office and can entertain small quantity walk-in purchases

Could you let me know if they entertain walk-in customers and whether pre-order is needed so they have the stock in hand? If possible can advise on pricing too? I'm looking to buy 4-6 pieces. It's great that I don't have to order buckpacks from overseas. These are identical right?

Thanks How did you join the acrylic parts together, in particular the small grooves you put on to slide in the aluminium plate and glass sheet? Is it acrylic glue holding the whole thing together?

Hi, could I check where you buy your aluminium 3mm sheet from?

I used a cheap "Rainbow" auto feeder to feed NLS pellets for 2-3 weeks and they don't get wet/clump up. I think it may have to do with the humidity around your tank. If your lights cause alot of evaporation, then it may be worth it to invest in an Eheim/Hydor feeder that comes with a fan for moisture control, as the area around your tank will tend to be more humid

Has anyone DIY-ed a LED set up controlled by a pre-programmed microchip? This would allow fading of lights (simulate sunrise and sunset) as well as other cool features like noon burst, moonlights etc all automated instead of having to connect different banks of lights to different power plugs and doing it manually via lights timer. I'm thinking of doing something like this with a friend, so would appreciate any input

Dama should be able to do the bending for you. They're very friendly and helpful.
