If you are driving, you can go to Aramugum Road and park next to Cheng Chwee Road. Parking fee is $1.10 for first hour. Use to be free, damn it.

what kinds of stocks???? worth my visit? yesterday just went to kwang's at joo chiat. The uncle sold me cheap cheap corals, one big piece only $5 , $6. Go and see loh... he dun weight the rocks like rainbow or so... more worth it. He also sell a eel looking kind of creature, dunno what is it...

[hongqixian]

A lot of his corals are unhealthy. Some become unnaturally neon green. Not very good.

The eels can be really eels or baby eeltail catfish.

i am new mah.. so dunno what also.. so where is reborn??????????? nobody here knows meh?

is it a old or new aquarium shop? got stock up fishes corals regularly???

[TTBoy]

What do u mean unnaturally neon green? Is that very bad?

[Tanzy]

Might be corals that have been artificially dyed. The dyes interfere with the coral's ability to photosynthesize and can be deadly. The dyes will also leach out of the coral into the water staining the rocks and other corals.

[TTBoy]

This is the first time i hear of it. So how do they dye it?

Am i right to say that corals that are very bright green in normal daylight are usually dyed?

[Tanzy]

Some coral are naturally green. LPS are less likely to be dyed, more often it is soft corals and anemones. The colour is unnatural, like magenta or neon blue kenya tree coral or bright yellow anemone(very very common). The dead giveaway is the colour of the tank water.

I don't know how they dye it but I recall Eric Bourneman mentioned that it is common food colouring.

Buy fish from them when fresh! I mean the moment the stock come in and not after a few days cos likelyhood that the fishes will not be healthy

Hi guys,

I went to reform last friday and saw that they had a huge supply of LR. However, unlike other LFS whose LR are usually purple in colour, their LR are covered with alot of green plant-like stuff. Are those plant-like stuff algae? If they are, it means that the LR sold there are not very good is it?

[Tanzy]

Definitely not the usual LR. It's of a very low grade, usually referred to as plant rocks. The green stuff is macroalgae.

[NormanH]

So, this is the new way of bringing in LR. Rocks with plants = legal, rocks itself = illegal.

[boxfish]

is macroalgae good? any usage?

[Tanzy]

Macroalgae can be used for nutrient export, feeding to fish, making agar-agar, eating with sashimi, decoration (Dutch style tanks) or a form of nuisance. Depends on what species of macroalgae.
