    [quote:2f7a1c83ff="Giant"]Hi,

    Is Nature Aquarium - Thomson in Thomson Road or Thomson Plaza?

    I am in Ang Mo Kio, any recommendations on nearby locations where I can go for refill? Any places in AMK industrial park?

    Of cos the more reasonable the pricing the better.

    1min? force feeding? if anyone have been to bioplast to topup their cylinder can see how the owner (ah tan) cools the cylinder down to the same temp as his master cylinder while dripping it in a barrel of water.. the reason he gave was, with his method, he could pump in more liquid co2...


    May I know where is bioplast? Can anyone give me the telephone number and the address of this place? Is it that waiting time is just within hour and i can get back the fully filled up tank?

    Anyone know which place can top up CO2 tank and able to take back on the spot?
    Can just give me the address and also the address?

    Thanks alot in advance... :rolleyes:

    Bioplast as it is called is actually "System and Control Engineering" If I remember correctly. It is found at Blk22 Boon Keng Road.

    They do on the spot top up, i.e. you wait for a couple of minutes while he tops up your tank... so yes, you definitely get it back within the hour.

    Sorry that I'm new here!

    I've Dennerle 500g resuable CO2 Cylinder, so it will be 0.5l right?

    If so, the price of refill will be half of 1.0l... please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thanks.[/img]

    depends, some lfs prefer to charge a flat fee for different size, like up to 3kg = $20, 3kg and above = $25 (something like that). Places like SOXAL do charge according to weight though

    I asked already $15 per refill of 500g Cylinder, not any cheaper!

    As they claimed that for 500g Cylinder size to use it on 150 litres tank will last approx. 220 days.

    After all CO2 is a very cheap gas, why bother to use a night valve to switch off during the night.. The saving is not much.

    Because plants don't use Co2 at night, so your fish might enjoy a permanent and fatal 'high' from the excess gas instead.

    Totally Agreed

    But for about 10 bubbles per minute per 100 litre of aquarium water, it will not do too much harm to the fishes. I suppose. So far, the fishes seem okay...

    Need to know who is doing door to door collection and delivery for CO2 refill?
    The best gift you can give someone is your time.

    A quick update. I refilled my 500g at Bloplast at Feb 22, 2005 and today (May 27,2005) the cylinder finally empty. So, $10 of 500g of CO2 can last for 3 months for the 3ft tank. Not bad..

    So, if I've a 2 litre CO2 Cylinder that refill cost $15 and can last for 1 year (on paper at least) very economical!

    Yup, correct. I went to Tuas (my office happen to be there) to fill the CO2. According to the lady, up to 5L is only $8 only.

    Yes,This place is very far, even after you exit PIE 40 and still need at least 15-20mins drive. Luckily I work at Tuas. Do you know rougly how much a CO2 cylinder cost for 2L and 3.5L because next time round I'm going to bring this to fill, same price. Their CO2 is in the liquid form but CO2 is very cheap and they're plenty..

    Guys, do you have the exact address of the said company?
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    Better be careful that they are giving you the correct food or medical grade CO2 man.
