Coral replica for freshwater aquascape

[d2hpeter]

Where can i find coral replica?

Which LFS has the most collection?

Want to imitate marine tank with cichlid.

If I recall correctly, I have seen some silicon type at Clementi. When put a whole bunch together, you really get a marine effect. Add some malawi cichlids and there you have your freshwater 'marine' tank. Don't forget the actinic light tube to complete the effect.

Cheers,

I hv set up a malawi cichlids tank in office using live rocks left over from my previous marine setup. looking for nice coral replica to brighten it up

If Mrs. Toh at C328 does not have it, I recall seeing loads of them at the farms at Lorong Harlus a few months back. Should still be available, but I can't recall which specific shop. They are all close by, so it should not be too difficult to find.

However, these soft silicon replicas are not to easy to maintain. When you get algae (usually brown or green) on them, you might need to take them out and soak them in mild chlorine bleach. Algae crew clean get to them easily due to their soft nature.

I remember seeing quite a number of them at Keong Seong about a month back. Do try to call before heading down to prevent wasted trips.
