[Puffer]

Thank you Benny! I'm looking forward to visit tomorrow!

I think more will come if can mix marine and freshwater creatures in the same tank. Imagine CRS with marine seahorse. Wow.

wonder how they do that?

I just came back to. What I would say that in Aquarama, the planted tanks as compared to the ones I seen a few aquarama have really improved by leaps and bounds.

Anyhow, do go visit Aqua culture cubicle, their set up with mosses, bolbits in that 1.5 ft cube set up is really nice....got that nature feel.

Anyhow, be prepared to see how many vendors have their LEDS lights on show.

One item that I found quite interesting would be the dymax nano tank. That tank really will sit nicely by my work desk. Comes with LED and overflow too!

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Will definitely be going down this weekend! This will be my 1st aquarama... Hopefully it won't be too overcrowded!

So anyway, for those who loves apistogramma...you will be disappointed as there are no presence at this aquarama at all.

For equipment buff's ...there are much to see.

So, the good old caveat, "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is" doesn't apply here?

Yea, I read about this in yesterday's paper. Another novel Japanese technology, but until we have more information on the science behind it, I will remain 50% convinced.

I was thinking of popping by after church on Sunday, but since all that is on display had been covered here, I think I can safely give it miss without this naggy feeling that I'd be missing something big, thanks to Benny for the comprehensive coverage.
How about some tweets from Ground zero?

Nothing beats seeing the tanks and other stuffs in real. We were all awe-strucked and asked how is this even possible! when we saw the GEX tank. The friendly Japanese exhibitors at GEX would gladly explain to you about the break through technology. We were told this "magic water" is a joint project with a Japanese University.

GEX is definitely the booth to visit when you guys pop down. Apart from this magic water, they have so many new products to share.

Hey Benny,

Thanks for the preview! Missed the last show in 2007 as I was overseas. Will definitely not miss this event!

Hi guys

Great pics! Will visit Aquarama tomorrow (Saturday) once I'm done with my personal errands. Have a movie to catch at Marina Square in the evening, too.

Just a question: the booths are all selling their products, right? Do the exhibitors accept cash only, or are NETS and credit cards accepted modes of payment?

Please advise, thanks!!!

Thanks benny for the photos. They are very well taken.

[MrTree]

cannot taste the magical water???

[BFG]

It's a slightly salty water with salinity at 1.008 or around that level. Unnatural in my opinion. I wonder how long did it take them to acclimate the fish to that salinity level? We had stuff like injecting color to fishes and now we have this abomination. I find this disturbing, trying to merge two different water bodies into 1. And for what?
