    Visited an aquarium in Tokyo selling ADA products around Ginza area recently. It's a small outlet located at 7th story of department stores. Generally, the price is expensive nevertheless the ADA price is still cheaper compared to Singapore.

    The owner is a young man but very professional/knowledeable on planted tank and ADA products. I took a few quick photos and reproduced here for your viewing.

    All of their tank are from ADA. Very clear glass and impressive.

    According to the owner, the latest popular creation from ADA is a mini-layout. The most favour ADA tank size 31(L) x 18(W) x 24(H)cm, selling 5040 Japan Yen (~ S$85). Pretty reasonable !! This size has been specially featured on the latest Aqua Journal July issue (Vol 117).

    The thing about Japan Aquarium trend is, they go for the quality. Quality, small, neat layout and details.

    That shop is called An aquarium.

    The owner is indeed very nice. And he often gives out multiple copies of ADA catalogues (like the ADA 2005) to foreign customers for free.

    For those looking for more information and directions. Visit their Japanese language website at http://www.an-aquarium.com/

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Normally, some of Japanese fish shop give 10-20% discounts on ADA list price. The ADA tank is superb, specially the small cube one on display. no joint and very clear thin glass selling 51,000 yen (~S$800).
    There are at least 20 fish shops selling ADA stuffs but you need a local to bring you around.

    Do you know his name? He suggested that I should make an effort to visit ADA showroom next time in Japan. The journey by bullet train is 2 hours from Tokyo.

    Your guide written in English or Japanese? How much you paid for your train ticket from Tokyo to Niigata?
    The ADA Gallery showroom only open on weekend and will make a point to visit next time in Japan.

    Would be wonderful to visit both the An Aquarium in Tokyo and ADA Galllery in Niigata.

    Star-Flog,Wynx, thanks for sharing the information.

    By the way, I think there is a AquaForest aquarium shop in Shinjuku.
    I think its worth a visit too.. both for the planted and fish afficionados.
