03Scape of the month · October 2026
Our October display tank is a 90P iwagumi by senior scaper Wei Ling Tan. Eleven pieces of seiryu stone, set around one main stone at the golden section, rise out of a carpet of Monte Carlo and dwarf hairgrass that took six weeks to close. There are no stem plants and no wood - just stone, a single carpet, and 30 chili rasbora moving through it like weather.

05 · Livestock, quarantined
We breed our own Neocaridina and buy fish only from two farms we have visited. Everything sits in a quarantine rack in the studio for at least two weeks, eating and settled, before it is offered for sale. It ships the same day in oxygen-filled bags inside an insulated box, and if anything arrives dead we replace it - no argument.

06Fresh from the yard
Light, filter, CO2 and soil are specified for your tank volume, so you are not guessing at PAR or turnover on day one.
In Singapore our team carries the tank in, levels it, leak-tests it and plants the kit. Overseas, a scaper is on video call while you plant.
Shrimp and fish are quarantined for 14 days and ship same-day in oxygen bags. Any loss on arrival is replaced or refunded.
Planting card · week 01
The first four weeks
Kampong Glam, Singapore - since 2016
Still Water started as a 45-centimetre tank on a shophouse windowsill, and a waiting list of friends who wanted one like it. Today the studio on Jalan Pinang keeps eleven display tanks running all year, so every light, filter and stone we sell has been tested in water before it reaches you.
We design for the tropics: tanks that stay cool without a chiller in a Singapore flat, lights that will not cook a carpet under a sunny window, and CO2 kits sized so a cylinder lasts months rather than weeks. And we still plant most of our Singapore kits ourselves.
07From the tank log
Log 001 · Iwagumi kit · 60P
“I gave them my shelf measurements and a photo of the room. Two weeks later Wei Ling planted a 60P in my flat in Tiong Bahru and it has not had a single algae bloom.”
Log 002 · Lumen Arc LED · Nature spectrum
“The spec sheet told me exactly what PAR I would get at the substrate. My carpet pearled on day nine.”
Log 003 · Livestock · Bloody Mary shrimp
“Twenty Bloody Marys arrived in Woodlands at 11am, all of them alive and colouring up within a week. Berried females by the end of the month.”
