    Ah Pek farm now at 33 Pasir Ris Farmway 2, Lorong Halus

    When to look for Ah Pek aka Capricorn Plant Farm today. They have shifted lock, stock and barrel to 33 PRF2, where Ganges used to be and taken over the farm lot formerly occupied by that other group (headed by a rather fierce young lady).

    Now in size, it's comparable with Teo's. Ah Pek's just moved in, so a lot of the concrete tanks are still weedy, but currently they have quite a lot of mosses, riccia tied to wood, Nuphar, crypts, vals, Anubias, tiger lilies, the usual gamut of stem plants.

    It's by far a much better place than the stark barracks style outfit they were at down the road; the feel now is more like how a plant farm should be, with plenty of corners and nooks to explore. Only thing it's rather far in.

    It's the same road, but you have to go all the way down to the left bend, and go on until you get to a large farm (with an uphill entrance) on the right, just before a small slip road. something like half a km down from the old place. There's a picture of an ugly mermaid on the entrance gate and the name of the place is called Irwarna.

    Thanks for your direction budak, I think I should be able to make it to the place next time. I have a friend just started to get interested in planted tank. Probably will go with him there to check things out.

    ah pek's used to be along pasir ris farmway, now in lorong halus.

    yah, very far to walk in and if you take a cab, be prepared to see a shocked look on the driver's face. "all the way in?"[:0]

    I went to his shop yesterday for a quotation of CO2 system. He quoted me $130 full set. Is this price alright? Can I get cheaper set elsewhere? BTW, I have to on/off the CO2 regulator everyday myself.
    Thanks.

    Ong,
    Not sure wat is he providing for $130 so can't comment the price ok or not.
    However, I would suggest getting the solenoid version. This means you would be able to control using the timer to be switched on/off electrically. More expensive but strongly recommended.
    Cheers!!

    Ganges or the guy "Ah Soon" shifted to 35F liao, selling fishes.

    Understand that friends come and go,
    but with a precious few you can hold on.

    hek hek, I bought from her many times in the past when she was in #10 FF2 but she is alright leh. But then again, I didn't go explore every inch of her farm farm and ask if everything is for sale... Maybe you just went at the wrong time (of the month)...

    Hi,

    Spotted the Tonina sp. at the new shop just in front of Ganges, unit 35D I think.
    They only have 3 stalks, but unfortunately not for sale.

    The boss said he is attempting to propagate it before selling.
