   Co2 refill: Where to have it while you wait?

   Advertisements

   Hi guys, I am quite new to the hobby and I am going through my first Co2 cylinder refill. I thought that the refill would have been made while you wait but with my surprise I went to my LFS and they quoted me 7-10 days. I then went all the way to Seaview and they quoted me 3 days, I gave in and left it to them. So my question is: Is there in Singapore a place where you go and they refill your tank before you? Thanks as usual

   You can try Bioplast at boon keng. You can collect immediately after top up.

   Re: Co2 refill: Where to have it while you wait?

   Depend on the type of your co2 tank, if you are using NA type tank, you can go NA for instant 1-1 exchange... if you are those normal/alumuninum type, you can go bioplast or normal LFS where you collect 3-4 days later( aquastar,y618,seaview)...in my opinion, really depend on your location as some lfs will need more time to collect sufficient tanks to send for top up, so time varies. i myself opt for NA tank, as 1-1 exchange is a breeze...

   Check out my Blog on planted tank, good for newbies ( i am lazy to retype all the info i know, so please click and read below link... i hope you don't fall asleep while reading) Link to my Blog I am not PERFECT but I am LIMITED EDITION !!! BIG Tank comes with BIG Responsibility...as they makan a lot of $$....lol

   Re: Co2 refill: Where to have it while you wait?

   wongce, Bioplast is "instant refill". Collect a while later. A LFS in tampines also does "instant refill" but PSI lower but i cannot recall the name but that one sells other pets also.

Is it at a Triangular market where a Mc Donald can be found in a community centre or is it at the side of Tampines where Safra is?

I do recall that it is near a market and the area is those shophouses.

   Re: Co2 refill: Where to have it while you wait?

   I just did mine at bioplast today, it costs me $11 for my small co2 tank. Uncle was very nice to explain to me that my tank has leakage and he did as much as he can to help me plug the leakage, although temporary solution. He worry most abt customers who bring leaking tanks, which will be hard to explain to when he fills it up, and then finds leakage, so check ur co2 tank by submerging it in a bathtub of water before bringing it to him.

    Re: Co2 refill: Where to have it while you wait?

    Hi veterans, can i double confirm something? If i was to buy a co2 cylinder off AQ, be it a NA or Seaview tank, i can re-fill it at any LFS that provide co2 re-fill service right? Asked this as i'm considering the possibility of buying a co2 cylinder on AQ and bring it to C328 for re-fill as it is more convient for me.

    Re: Co2 refill: Where to have it while you wait?

    Yes you can. Buy say from Seaview. Top up at other LFS providing such service. If you dont mind waiting for a few days. I dont think they do instant top up. Only one is Bioplast.

    Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.
