    lights ( not sure how many W)
    co2 (with an external reactor)
    filter (not sure which brand and model, can recommend?)
    how much is a low budet chiller?

    how much is your overall budget?
    tank 5 ft by? by? with cupboard? with stand? aiyo, check with LFS easier lar
    Lights, MH? PL? FL? Get 3x150w MH better lar... but will be ex
    5l CO2 with solenoid from NA is $260 i think
    filter, got $$$ ehiem, else Atman lor... which 1? those sufficient for the volume lar!
    chiller, about 1K for one for that kind of volume I think

    I don't think it is very fair to other LFS to list every price here. But the price won't be much different unless you approached those totally none planted tank shop or those rated very expensive ones.

    Not only will it be unfair, it will also be a chore to keep it updated.

    To be honest, with the the LFS list and telephone numbers, all prices are just 1 phone call away, provided you know what you want to get.

    Perhaps a bigger and more obvious button for LFS would help.

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

    Err... I've got an impression from previous posts that 5ft light sets are hard to find.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    notebook: I'm still pestering my dad to sponser me...he's willing, but have to wait till the carpets are changed...doh.

    You can try Rainbow at serangoon north ave 1. i was there today and they had a wide selection. I'm not too sure of the sizes though...but it seems they have all sorts of sizes...even my dream tank..a wide and lenghty shallow tank...perfect for stingrays (which looks like it was manufactured, the kind which is made by local glass fabricators..)
    They also have those with curved glass, and cupboards and all..
    And yea, if i remember correctly, almost all of them come with cupboards..
    If price is not really an issue, you could go with Juwel. And again i'm not too sure of the sizes too.
    If i remembered correctly someone in this forum got a Juwel tank from petmart, which resumes it's business on 11/2/03 (tuesday)

    Hope this helps.. If worse come to worse, go to a shop and ask them to custom make...with matching cupboards...i think NA provides the service...call to check.

    Happy Hunting!

    As long as $$$ is not an issue, unlikely lighting will be one. The restriction for such lights only falls on FL and probably PL. Hanging MH 2-3 MH lights should provide enough luminares for the plants.

    yah... i kinda like the design that NA have might ask him about a 5ft.
    as for the lights, how much does it cost for a MH? not very sure how strong the light should be too...(can advise?)

    yup. and i should be heading down to rainbow to look for a suitable tank if theres any.

    just for my info, how much light should be add to the 5ft tank? as in PL, FL and MH?

    Thanks!
