It really varies. Maybe you can let us know what type of tank you want to setup? And where is your location?

Wow, your reply was fast... I intend to start with a 2 feet first before tryin to attempt a bigger tank. Staying around Hougang area, but I drive...
Opps, forgot to mention I'm kinda interested in having hair grass and ricca in my tank
The plants you want, can always look out in our buy/sell.
LFS that are better in planted area are Nature Aquarium, Eco Culture, Gratiola, just to name a few.
Farms would be Teos.
CKM, have you work up a list of things yet? I suggest you do that, it makes the shopping alot efficient. We can also help go through the list with you too.
To be honest, most of the one stop shops in the farms are not that cheap.
For example, I was looking at a Dyna overhead filter and a very popular farm in Jalan Kayu selling 100 boraras for S$10 only was offering it for S$20. The same filter was selling for S$11 in Clementi.
So...buyers beware, farm does not equal savings.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Ya some farms only concentrate on livestock, so the equipment they sell will be more expensive.
A good one stop shop could be Nature Aquarium where you can buy most stuff at reasonable price, may not be cheapest though. The owner, chan, should be able to give you good advices with his experiences.
Farms usually provide their core products like fish or plants, cheaply. They will not be able to sell equipment cheaply, if any.

You probably save a little bit of money going to a farm, but if you find a LFS that is good, then buy from them as you will often get good advice along with the purchase. Once the LFS gets to know you and your set-up, good advice is often more important.
My local LFS even delivered occasional items that I could not carry.
Go Paris Ris..they are at least 5 fish farm along the stretch of Pasir Ris Farmway 2 to Paris Ris Drive 12, and also one farm specialize in all the aquatic plants. From Hougang, just a few minutes drive. May not necessary cheap but at least few more variety to choose from.Originally Posted by CKM

Hi Benny, I'm new to this wonderful hobby. you mentioned that a very popular farm in Java Kayu, exactly where they're located, I want to take a look this weekend.Originally Posted by benny
Also someone said they are fish farm in Seletar, where are they never seems to find it?
THANKS.

Ya, I've got a list worked out, but then again, the only thing I'm still unsure is the CO2 thing. Should I DIY or get the cannister?Originally Posted by geoffrey
i suggest you invest in a CO2 set. A complete new 3.5L set probably cost you 250 the most, and you can reuse it even when you upgraded to 6ft.
DIY for fun, but will eventually be bothersome, and you dont really get good control over it.

C328 would be a gd place to get your equipments.
Also consider the lighting set that you would want to get for the tank - a 2 footer with hairgrass would do well with a 72w..or you could go into MH.
Let me know if ur willing to look into a 2nd hand one (the former) Am planning on selling of mine soon in favour of an upgrade..
By the way, seeing that you stay in hougang, you may want to just visit the Serangoon North cluster of shops to see what are the price ranges of items..Just so that you're a bit more familiar with the pricing.
Hi Benny,Originally Posted by benny
BTW, which farm is selling 100 boraras for S$10? I am staying very near to Jalan Kayu (2 to 3 bus stops away). Can you please PM me the name or location of the farm? Thanks.
