Heya guys,

I'm currently in China for a 5 year contract, and I'm thinking of moving here hehe. I was wondering if any1 has any experience here?

1. Which brand of aquarium---cleair.net, or that sunsun or some other brand---to recommend?
2. Where do I go to buy fish here in BJ? :D

Thanks in advance!

Not sure about buying Fish in Beijing, but if you want to buy a tank that comes with filters etc, then there is a brand called AA which is not too bad and fairly reliable as far as Chinese brands go...

Otherwise, i'm sure you could find a specialist fishtank manufacturer to make you a custom one for pretty darn cheap too... just make sure YOU know what a safe glass thickness is if you want to make a large tank...

Thanks Fat Homer :D yeah they have tanks here that are 180-220 that's mass produced, with sump (even ph reader!) and etc...the whole 9 yards (which does take out the fun at some point....but all these for under 1k usd...so SUPER CHEAP!

Yeah, large tanks over there cost next to nothing by themselves, but im sure if you look around you'll find some really nice fish...

What i fear in chinese material is the most sure potential to fail......stuff does not last.
