  1. Thats right. T5 are just tubes, End caps, clips and ballast.
  2. I prefer to sell the T5 stuff as a package... totalling $85 with holders and (brand new) stainless steel clips.
  3. Hi all, please note that the original prices are given and the absolute lowest is offered. Please do not haggle. I will not entertain haggling SMSs. Thanks
  4. Hi all, I've upgraded my lights to MH, hence am selling my old lights: * 3 ft Atman Light Set (E ballast) - Can hold 2 39W PLs, however this set only comes with 1 X Actinic Light.

  6. That's good to hear.... I should be alright with it if thats the case. What's DT? I feed with cyclopeeze occassionally.
  7. So the power consumed will still be the same. 240V. Right?
  8. 1. Well, the most important question is why you ran over the cat. Did you do it on purpose? If not, you probably ran over it by accident. Its a circumstance which is beyond your control. 2. What was the cat doing on the road? Even if you didn't hit it, someone else would have! 3. What do you want to do about it? Does thinking about it the whole night, missing sleep and then getting your ###### kicked by your boss tomorrow help in anyway to bring the cat back to life? If not, what can? The obvious answer is NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! So what? Lesson learnt, move on. Be more careful in future. 4. How do you live with it? There are so many cats, dogs, birds even RATS being run over by cars everyday, in Singapore itself. Surely when you see the remains on the road, you'd be reminded of this unfortunate event... but youneed to always remember 1. and 3. Because 3. will prevent future similar occurrences. Finally, if it is any consolation, you're in a much better position compared to the lady who brought SARS into Singapore. She killed her parents and Pastor (God bless their souls)... and nearly did so for her grandmother and brother... but she has learnt to live with it becuase there is just nothing she can do to help it. And we are not helping when media talks about SARS, the Heros and those who didn't survive still, everyday. In all things, be thankful, theres someone else in a worse situation. Have a good night!
  9. Hey guys, I had recently bought one of these and yes, I did it without doing research on it first. Its doing well, but I wanna make sure it is in the best environment/position. 1. It is a filter feeder + photosythesiser right? So filter feedeing plus good lighting would be great? 2. Is it advisable to put it in the path of strong water flow?
  10. I've known of people who actually designed a concrete stand done up by interior designer together with the rest of the renovations. Well, I think Stainless steel is quite safe. With good husbandry habits it will not have problems. Most reefers in the forum have tanks 4 ft, 5 ft on a stainless steel tank stand. Never heard of a midnight collapse. As a general rule to keep in mind is that saltwater whereever it lands (outside the tank) should be wiped up quickly. Be it on the outside of your tank wall before it rolls down to your stand, walls, floors etc. The design of your tank stand can also help to distribute the loading of your tank. For example, the stand should not be standing on four legs, rather, on a four sided frame.
  11. This little fella has become aggressive in particular towards blue fish only. It has killed my blue damsel (much to my delight as I have been trying to catch him to give away but failed miserably) and now, he's after a new cleaner wrasse I put into my tank. He's healthy, VERY active, and feed on almost anything and everything(except Marine Spectrum). My other tank inhabitants are the Golden Head Sleeper Goby, Rocket Goby, Bi-Colour Blenny, CBShrimp and Cleaner Shrimp (non of which are blue except the cleaner wrasse). I just caught him today so if anyone would like to make an offer of $6, collection will be from Woodlands MRT station.
  12. I have soft filters (Diffuser 1 & 2) in rectangular format. I live in Woodlands.
  13. Where are you living? Most pipes these days are PVC, in which case you'd have no problems. But if you do have the old metal pipes, then it may potentially be a problem. It is a small risk only, especially since you do use water even after disposing tank water... the fresh water would drain whatever salt water is in the pipe. Unless you're running a marine LFS at home lar. As for furniture... its best that electrical products be placed away from the tank. While having a tank does not necessarily cause corrosion unless salt spray from fans blowing on the water splashes on your electricals. My wooden cabinets (built in) have no problems even after 1 year. As for parquet, try to prevent dripping. In events of dripping, just wipe immediately! IMO, no major concerns.
  14. This emerald crab eats Green HAIR algae is it?? Ahhh... perhaps Woonming and Dino can start a emerald crab rental service?

  16. Sigh... I feel so sad for the LS and coral... but I'm open to housing hammerheads! White-Spots can be treated effectively by feeding the fish with Food that has been soaked in Garlic Juice. But it being the cycling period, they are not likely to survive.
  17. Sunmight Trading & Engineering Contact: Toh Swee Aik - 9790 6268 He sounds very unfriendly on the phone, but he's quite a good chap. He's moved to Sembawang, though.
  18. Hey Joe, You can try the bathroom, then you can bathe without using the heater, save even more money.
  19. Sheesh, this is so depressing... and I was considering between a nudibranch and cuke recently. I've completely changed my mind now.
