Greetings from Penang Island

Hi everyone,

My name is Johnny and I'm residing in Penang.
My last visit to Singapore was last year Christmas time and I find it very nice.
I've currently just started with a very small tank (5 gallons) to be exact.
My interest in aquascaping was sparked off at a lfs here with very nice tank.
I came to know about this great forum through MAC (Malaysian Aquascaping Club).
Hope the people here will share their great experience and useful advise with me.
Many thanks!

Hi Foxtrotperv, good to see you here. I hope you can contribute to the community here as well.

I'm starting to salivate over the many equipments and wide range of flora & fauna that can be obtained in Singapore.
Penang is slightly limited and lots of things have to be sourced elsewhere.

I shall post my tank picture up soon!
Stay tuned!
