  1. Is it Tunze's idea to run almost all their skimmers series with wet skimmate?
  2. I agree about the killing off. However, I do not agree that we should not aerate the water. There is a need to consider about the micro organisms in the tank as well. If we leave them to die, that will indirectly foul our water quality too. So in a way, using NSW you stand to gain some, you lose some. But, I will still stick with my point, that we got to aerate the water, or else there is no point getting seawater if it is void of life. Does not make much difference from salt mix. Anyway, I will always be disgusted by LFS which get NSW and do not aerate them. Not to mention proud shop keepers too. Just my 2 cents worth.
  3. Hey ervine! How are you doing man? Anyway I want to know where did you get your chenggai stand done and at what price? All the best for your tank mate! Cheers!
  4. Thanks for understanding it. I hope my point gets across to everyone. Cheers!
  5. i got SingNet BB. Not so good performance. But i got a free Mac iBook G4 free.
  6. Hi morning, thanks for the replies. I think my point is misunderstood here. Typing Singlish into your posts I have no qualms with it. However. I am stressing that too much Singlish will kill the contents, and threads have a higher chance of becoming a casual chitchat forum or worst, end up in quarrels. And it is our arguments/causal chitchat as a result straying away from main topic, our childishness etc. that drive our own experts away, for example Morgan, Tanzy, danano etc. Their lack of participation cut short of our abilities to learn more and gain more. I got to say that what we learn in books, these guys have learnt it few hundred times. And what we do not learn in books, these guys still know it all. So in the end, we are the ones on the losing end. So who stand to gain? They do! And do not tell me that they are busy with work as an excuse. Singapore is now on a 5 day working week. Therefore, I am saying it is possible to still use Singlish, however, we have to choose where to use it, how we going to use it, and using it will it be of any value to our contents, and if we can do that, i am sure we can still get our contents across.
  7. A question about sea cucumbers. Is it a definite requirement for sea cucumbers to live on a sandbed? Thanks
  8. Okie. Keep me updated here then or by PM. I am interested.
  9. Totally amazing! I also wondered how much money have your girlfriend's dad spent into creating that tank?? Anyway a point to ask, is it too much rocks in the tank? seems like a lot to me. Will it restrict the flow in the tank?
  10. I just got back from another hobbyist's place. Being a hobbyist himself, a moderator and the founder for a fish forum( sorry i wont disclose the forum for identity sake. hope everyone understand), he shared with me alot of insights, personal opinions, and ideas with me. But one point that struck me the most was the fact that he mentioned about the way we post our views on the forums. He said that the language we use to post our views on our local forums (including our political forums) are either too Singlish or the way we post it is too crude. And such scenarios does not need to take many to make it a norm in the forums. All we need is one person to type the way he/she sms/talk and we get amany people doing the same, we become frustrated about how some nice threads can turn into petty arguments, or casual chit chat and drifted off course from the main topic. Or we simply could not find the sort of details we want despite reading 20 pages of threads. It has occurred to me before and I am sure it has occurred to some of our friends here too. Given such a scenario, I asked him what's the best solution about such a problem. He said for our local forums it is a little too late to salvage the situation. This is because everyone is already like that. the moment one enters, the body and mind just move into motion. It is hard to save the situation. Hearing this, I gave a sigh. Therefore, I do not ask for a change overnight, but a small favour from everyone. Let's try to be intellectual for once. I understand some of us have difficulties trying to phrase our ideas (that includes me) into words, but just for once, let's try to be intellectual, so that newcomers can read our posts with greater understanding and experts can immediately diagnose our problems if we have any or give us constructive comments. To be in this hobby, we have given up so much of our brain cells to accomodate the knowledge so let us once conduct ourselves well and share our knowledge with others. Let's hope that by doing so we can attract more foreigners into this forum, so that we can exchange our ideas with them and learn what is out of this country and out of our books. Reefkeeping is importantly about sharing and getting our ideas across the globe. So can we try for once compromise with our Singlish and switch to give better English? Sgreef is a good place to exchange reefkeeping ideas so let's not let it waste away so easily. Hope you all out there understand what i am trying to put across. Just my 2 cents ~An imperfect guy
