I'll be heading down tomorrow! Probably get a 25kg sack of black lava rocks and a 25kg sack of red lava rocks. So excited! On a separate note, I managed to convince my girlfriend to accompany me to this god-forsaken part of Singapore in search for good rocks..

Bros,
I'm planning to buy some rock from there in the next few weeks as I find it is too expensive to buy from LFS (I bought 5kg from Seaview that cost $25). So, I would like to know if the person in-charge there still allow me to walk-in and hand-pick the rock that I want? Or I can only buy the rock that is packed by them?
Thanks in advance...
There will be an allotment of rocks that you can select in their samples boxes... but if you are purchasing a large quantity, the rocks are usually already pre-packed on bags or manually packed by the workers who have go to the rock yard and use a shovel to scoop them into the bags.
I guess you just have to check with the manager there and see if he allows you to go to their rock yard to pick rocks on your own.
Anyone interested in any rocks or need me help you get anything? I'm heading there right now! you can contact me at 98one57one57.

Not sure if the distributor had anymore left. I bought 2x 25kg worth of black lava rocks from the place today. If you're looking for small quantities, just let me know.
This GirlFriend is a keeper.
Hm, might be going down one of these days for the Black Lava Rocks .
By the way , you guys went recently seen any Sand/Gravel that looks like the River Sand /Aqua Gravel from ADA?
Looking to cover the base of a 120 x 60 . Probably 50kg enough hopefully.
I think I don't see any sand/gravel during my trip last Saturday.

For sand, Fareast Flora and other plant nurseries also sell sand quite cheap. Not sure if it is beach sand or river sand.
Since they sell it to be used for plants, I think it should be safe for aquarium use.

Yes. They have lot of huge rock that waiting to be crushed into smaller pieces. But these rock might not suitable for shrimp tank as it react to vinegar test.
