    saw a few big rocks in one of those aquariums along serangoon north ave 2. Don't know what name is that aquarium but it's a pretty big one.

    Y168 has pretty huge granites and lava rocks in the boxes outside just a few days ago. Some are way heavier than 2kg (definitely bigger than NA's).

    Yes sorry for the short form it is Yishun Blk 618. Anyway it is near Khatib MRT, not in the east. Call them to ask first since the distance is so far for you, but the rocks should still be there. They are open till 10.30 at night.

    No problem. Remember to call first to check because their stock moves really fast. Especially the fauna.

    Re: Where to find big scaping rocks?

    Bad news, I went to Y618 today and the box was near empty. Only a few pieces left and they are not very heavy. You might want to call and check when they bring in the new shipment.

    On the other hand, I saw a new box of huge white coraline rocks. Not sure if this would fit your scaping plans though.

    Re: Where to find big scaping rocks?

    i'm also looking for large granite rocks for scaping a 4ft tank. I've checked NA and they have no stock available. Anyone have any sightings of such large rocks? I've heard that the Pasir Ris farms usually have alot of such stock, anyone know which ones I should be going to take a look? Or any new stock arrived at the NE LFSs?
