Green Chapter visit

[Disciple]

G'day Guys,

Today I made the trip to visit Green Chapter to pick up some items. They are more of a normal aquarium shop but I thought you may enjoy some pictures.

The shrimps. They sold a few different PRL lines, pintos and tb's. The were bloody Mary's and gold backs.

Other live stock tanks.

Other stock they sold.

Last but not least their beautiful planted display tanks.

Unfortunately I was not able to spend heaps of time in this store as the wife was waiting haha. Again I hope you enjoy the pictures and sorry for the bad photography.

This is what I got myself here but I am pretty sure everyone has got these now.

Going to try visit a couple more stores if possible and one more trip to AC.

Cheers

Yeah it's a great place for a holiday. Great cheap food, good shopping and lots of things to do. Now I keep learning of new places to visit for my hobby so it's even better lol.

It does suck but as you told me before eventually everything becomes available we just got to be patient. I believe we have some great breeders and the pintos I have seen can almost be matched by the one we have in Australia.

Got to borrow the father in laws car.

WOW !! 

Nice car. Won't even ask how much it was to purchase in Singapore.

Cars there are expensive.

 

What is BioSpon, that you bought 5 boxes of?

 

Not much has changed in GC since I was there a year ago.

[Ronskitz]

DAYUM that is a sweet ride. I now see what you mean by "well off" lol nice what other places have you found?

Jayc the biospon are the sponge filters with the extra bio balls in the bottom. Actually i seen some for $50 on another forum but i dare not mention it lol

[Ronskitz]

Are you gonna be able to bring the mulberry back though?

The biospon pack I got are just sponge filters with a compartment for media.

Yeah cars are expensive in Singapore no doubt. Just to get the certificate of entitle (the certificate to buy a car ATM will cost between 30k to 50k) that car was just one I saw at marina bay sands I wish it was driving it lol. But I know it would easily have cost at least 800k.

Although the in laws do have a nice car I hate driving it, too scared to have a accident! Jayc do you know of any other places to visit? There was one I was told amount but forgot the name of the store. It's suppose have a great shrimp section too.

Declare it as "pet food". But when they inspect tell them it's "fish food". They'll look at it and realise it's not raw, but processed and properly packaged. They'll let  you go without any issues.

Awesome man!

I was planning to go out to seletar area next or c328 but I like the sound of nature aquarium or go nature! Should have asked earlier.

Also thanks for the heads up of how to deal with airport staff

[jayc]

No problem.

You've already visited the best shops. The rest are predominantly fish shops first with some shrimp.

It's always fun looking around c328 and polyart with stuff everywhere. Organised chaos.

The farms in Seletar are a great visit, seeing the big ponds of fish. I remember a shop that had lots of arowanas. Another with koi. Same aquarium accesories can be had for cheap too.

[Ronskitz]

Lol sorry Ron I was just kidding around about the car. They do have nice car that we have been using lol

Lol ya got me too bad its not. Btw how is your father in law?

Sounds like you went to every corner of the island last time you came. Edited January 12, 2015 by Disciple

[Disciple]

Yeah it would be pretty cool to take for a spin but staying the in laws has it's benefit lol. I'll tell you about it next time I see you.

Yeah he is ok man thanks for asking.

[newbreed]

Wow what an awesome trip!! Glad you are getting to a few Must See destinations!!

Thanks for sharing, you are inspiring me to do more travel this year!!

.

Side note, Jayc, these Biospon can filter up to 58l tanks. They are amaze balls!! I have purchased some for my new rack and have just set two up in a new cherry/tiger/snowball tank??

The sponge and media canister are held onto the unit by magnets, so once in place, it is really easy to remove the sponge and canister to clean, then just click back into place. You dont have to remove the whole unit each time. I had been waiting on GC to get back to me about them, but a keeper in Melbourne bought heaps into Australia. They are available at the moment over here for around $38 each, plus postage. (Depending on availability)

[jayc]

Thanks for the extra info Newbreed.

Awesome pics mate, what sort of filtration were they runnign on the tanks in that first shot where the bench is in a L shape? I really like the look of that

Yeah it has been good fun. Learnt a lot of new things which I will use to try improve my shrimp keeping. Seen some really nice shrimp too.

I was not able to really ask questions and look at things closely at this store. All the filtration was hidden behind a partition in the corners of the tank.

Did you speak to Ron?

 

Ron owns the shop. He's rough around the edges, and is a heavy chain smoker.

If you ever go back there. Ask for Ron, then shout him a ciggie, while having a ciggie with him ask to see the filtration.

[Disciple]

Thanks for the info,

I doubt I'll be able to make it there again this trip but next time I'll go with a pack for him. Only thing is I don't smoke lol
