i started my reefing with the bukit timah shop too...
their methods are kind of back dated and they still advocate undergravel...
best is to still do the necessary research, the internet provides a lot of information,
up to date reading material is also neceassary.
trail and error will only cost more money and loss of LS in the long run.
times change, methods improve.
the results speak for themselves.
personally, i i were a newbie, i'd go to ML at Hong Leong.
Henry might charge more but he is HONEST and he gives good advice.
if you know what to look for, go to the farms like CF and LCK or L. Halus,
you might get a good bargain..
personally, i find stuff at OP reasonably priced and Thomas is a stand up guy.
spidey, have to disagree with you here.
but as for ROYGBIV
