Hi,
I was reading all the posts of this thread and joined this website to offer some help to the Dubai Reefers. I used to have freshwater aquariums with arowanas and have recently plunged into the nano reef idea and currently have one setup of 25 gallon. I ordered lights from China of the Odessya brand and it seems working fine till now. All the other equipments I have purchased from UAE only. From what I have heard, there is a big store in DIFC near Greens called Aquarium Concepts. I usually purchase livestock from Sharjah and Ajman where it is really "cheap" than anywhere in Dubai. For eg. live rock price will be Dhs. 40/kilo from whr I buy,while from any shop in Karama or Satwa it costs Dhs. 60/kilo. If anyone need information of the fish stores drop me a mail at
sun337@rediffmail.com and I will be of assistance.
Take care.
