    I'll be visiting Singapore for a few days from the 18th of May, and I was wondering if anyone might know of any aquarium shops close to the Meritus Mandarin Hotel.

    Cheers!

    If you can stay longer, you will be able to catch AquaRama 2007 at Suntec Convention Centre.

    Maybe you can browse through this list of LFS from this link, perhaps plan out the trip:
    http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ad.php?t=13291

    Would suggest NA, Nature Aquarium and colorful Aquarium which is a few unit away.

    As what valice said, you can consider AquaRama 2007 http://www.aquarama.com.sg/index.html.

    The only outfit in that part of town i know is Red Sea (Paradiz Centre) close to the Dhoby Ghaut MRT (subway) station. If you fancy getting equipment etc (i don't think you can bring organics home), take a cab (should cost $4-5 at most) or bus 143 from Orchard Boulevard in the direction of Toa Payoh) to NA Nature Aquarium at Balestier Hill Shopping Centre (the oldish block across the road from Thomson Medical Centre) for reliable service and a pretty good range of gear.

    Thanks to all

    Wow!, thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately, my schedule won't allow me to attend the AquaRama. I have to fly to Phuket on the 20th, and I will be there until the 30th.
    I will be hoping to have a look at some CO2 equipment, and to see how it's done in Asia. It's still a fairly new concept back here, and the guy at my LFS cringes everytime I mention it. If I mention plants like Japonica Blyxa and Toninia, he breaks out in a cold sweat. He won't even sell T5 lighting. I have to order mine in the mail. I'm sure he hates me.

    Cheers everyone.

    If that's your aim... then I suggest you give Red Sea a miss and head to Nature Aquarium as suggested.

    Yes, Mr Chan of Nature Aquarium will be most helpful.Since you'll be in Thailand, see if you get over to Bangkok, they have a really big aquarium retail scene over there.
