I wont have time to make it to Bangkok
 But it's going to be a snorkeling/diving/beach-y type deal in Phuket  I'll try to take some pics if I manage to pick up a water-proof case for my camera (or else buy a cheapo water-proof camera & hope for the best). Last time I was in Goldfish St. I managed to pick up some gravel cleaners, a decent refractometer, some Mag-floats & some Japanese Koi food, but they're all back in the UK so I have to buy them again... I definitely recommend that any reefer visiting Hong Kong should owe it to themselves to spend an hour or so there! It's close to the Ladies market so you could pick up some quality (and some not so quality) designer fakes along the way  Anyway, I'll pm those interested & make up a list. .

I was there for new years, and all i am asking for is to take PICTURES!
The livestock there (though cramped) all look pretty healthy (i didint have a lot of time so i only went to the salt water ones) Price wise, the stuff is pretty good compared to local..but it's the livestock that they have for 1/8 of our price!

I was shocked when I 1st stumbled upon it & saw amazingly beautiful Emperor Angels, CBB's, foot long Oscars etc. all hanging up in bags in doorways! Like you say, they looked healthy enough! Prices? I remember see Percula's for $30 each. That's $30 Hong Kong Dollars each! (about $4 CAD!) .

I love Goldfish Street. You can get T5 lights + a ballast and everything for only $350 hk which is like $50 here. I remember I got like a 16w 10k HO trio of T5's.
But they melted. At least one of them did.

$50 for T5's with ballast... that's a steal, so long as they work that is!!! HK 220v @ 50Hz - Canada 110v @ 60Hz so I probably wont trust anything electrical that my tank has to rely on from HK. Not with out a decent step down. .

I had to use all sorts of adaptors when I got the T5's back here though. But they were BRILLIANTLY bright  It was worth it. & Turkey basters were like a dollar. Not that it's such a bigbigbig deal its just that if that was here it would've only been like 10 cents
