Hi

I think the cost for a topup in Nature aquarium is $15 for both 2 and 3.5l.

I checked it with him 1 month ago.

Don't tell me, Chan raise his price already.

Thks.

My Friend just refill his 5L tank in Tuas... the one in the LFS listing Tua View Lane... $10.50... on the spot refill, according to my friend CO2 top up 1min only.

checked with them, CO2 is F&B rated.

1min? force feeding? if anyone have been to bioplast to topup their cylinder can see how the owner (ah tan) cools the cylinder down to the same temp as his master cylinder while dripping it in a barrel of water.. the reason he gave was, with his method, he could pump in more liquid co2...

**MdmBudak** · 16th Jan 2004, 22:21

Lot 63 @ Lor Halus charges $15 for 3.5L tank.

1-1 exchange if you are using the black and silver cylinder. Else have to wait 2 days.

**af2373** · 28th Jan 2004, 09:25

sealico at amk ind park 3, top up 2litres of food grade for $15. wait an hour or so.

**robin** · 6th Feb 2004, 20:34

Biotope - jln bukit merah

$18 2Litre(I think)
same day return

I left my seloniod there and when Thio comes back, even fix seloniod and test for leak. Best customer service man, Thank you Thio.

Somehow, Thio's CO2 top up last about 1/2 a month longer for me compared to when i top up in Soon Heng 88 - henderson. Wonder why?

For those of you who top up at Industrial Centers, ccould you please tell me if u are sure if they top up Food Grade Co2..and not INdustrial Grade Co2 which is useless.

Why you say industrial grade CO2 useless?
I once asked the folks at Chem-Gas what's the difference between the two. Their reply was that if industries need Food Grade CO2, they just flush the tanks with CO2 first before filling them.
So - the source of CO2 is still the same, right? Correct me if I am wrong.

BTW - to keep to topic, you can start a new thread if interested to continue discussion.

Hi, i top up my CO2 at National Industrial Gases Pte. Ltd.

3.5L $15.00 plus GST.Wait at most 10 to 15 mins.

**bluezing** · 15th Oct 2004, 17:54

Pls update the price of NA's 1 to 1 exchange.

I just did it 2 weeks back and it's confirmed even for the 5 litre,
its $15.

*guess Mr Chan is trying to encourage people to get the 5 litre one? more worth it?

**neon** · 15th Oct 2004, 21:30

top up my 5L Co2 at system engineering and control for $20.

**Giant** · 13th Jan 2005, 14:11

Hi,

Is Nature Aquarium - Thomson in Thomson Road or Thomson Plaza?

I am in Ang Mo Kio, any recommendations on nearby locations where I can go for refill? Any places in AMK industrial park?

Of cos the more reasonable the pricing the better.
