bwilly Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 depends on your photoperiod. I on from 5:30pm - 11:30pm daily, cost me additional of $20+ a month, add chiller will easily another $20-30. Looking at extra of $50 increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alentino Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Come to think of it, i realised there are indeed many rich singaporeans. all those life supporting equipment, expensive sps specimens and electric bill... many malaysian hobbyist i've met are less willing to dig deep for this hobby Quote "Less technology, more biology" --- John Tullock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryansimon Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'd think the rates changes every three months because of the different tariff rates and rebate rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juan rahmat Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Are the fishes ans eqm cheaper in Malaysia? and where can I find these shops in JB or penang and KL? I only know the prices in KL for example 1.Weipro 2011-RM$100 2.Weipro 2012-RM$110 3.Cheapest live rock RM#4.50 a kilo etc,etc,etc but in Malaysia we don't have so much choice when it comes to marine equipment.
