b4 the crash, i do see lots of info and review. please repost them kind souls... thanx a lot. considering a chiller right now.

by the way, how much is a decent ground probe here?

remember to get more friends to help! haha

AT, could you give us more detailed instructions as to how much kalk is needed and how much water to combine with. Thanx.

spider is right. like 45 degrees to the surface. more effective

i've just managed to move my tank to another position. it's damn shack work man. i intended to put the live stock back into the tank but the water was very cloudy and i didn't want the live stock to go thru that torment. my back is sore and i totally underestimated the amount of effort and time! now waiting for the water to settle down in the morning and i'll put the "babies" back. anyway the corals look ok but both my yellow and kole tang looked a little stressed up in the toyogo container. hopefully they can get thru this. they will surely love their new home coming soon... hehe. i've also isolated the rocks with aiptasias to nuke. any idea what's the best way? thought of getting a pair of copper band butterflies and then returning them back to the LFS but could be traumatic for the poor fellas! appreicate any ideas.

AT, you;ve some nasty looking clams! really bright and neon coloured! cool man. how do you intend to nuke the aiptasias?

thanx but i'm relocating my current tank and until the new tank is ready, i'll introduce the stock slowly into the new tank.

posted this for comments b4 crash i thought of these steps for moving tank to the same location. some info: current tank is 2ft cube. new tank is 4x2 1/2x2 hopefully my plan will be a success and i will document the entire process for learning purposes. any points i've missed out? 1. take 2 big containers and standby 2 power heads for circulation. 2. mix saltwater and fill 1/3 of each container 3. turn off all lighting and equipment 3. drain half of the water from old tank to fill container1 4. remove corals and place in container1 (i've got no sps or sensitive corals ) 5. remove live rocks and place in container2 6. shd be easy to catch fish now. place in container1 7. drain remaining water from old tank till 1" above sand bed and fill container2. at this point collect some sand and put into another small container. 8. move tank to holding location. (hopefully not so heavy!!! need manpower. haha) 9. fill tank with water from container2 and put in some base rocks (cos i need to kill aiptasia in the remaining LR) 10. put corals back in old tank 11. put fishes back in old tank 12. fill old tank with water from container1 (leftover consolidate into one container for LRs with aiptasias to kill!!!) 13. restart lighting and equipment ---hopefully the corals and fishes survive this few hours of stress--- 14. hooray. new tank in position 15. test plumbing for leakage, etc.. (maybe 2 or 3 days) 16. drain water for washing toilet and corridor!!! haha. 17. mix saltwater in new tank. 18. put #0 sand. 4" DSB. mix with some "life" from old sand bed 19. throw in liverocks and scape the tank to desired taste 20. set up refugium 21. start cycling process (maybe 3-4 weeks) 22. include oshkosh's advice of swapping water between 2 tanks for a couple of days 23. lighting and chiller set up ---time to add livestock. make sure parameters are fine--- 24. slowly acclimatise fishes to the new tank. first 2 false clowns. then yellow and kole tang. somehow they really pair up! i will look for a new home for my maroon clown and damsel. too agressive for my liking 25. slowly acclimatise corals to the new tank. one at a time 26. set up skimmer from old tank to new tank. ---hooray!!!---

guys, let me give a more objective performance review since i've also been a huge pool fan since 7 belongs to daglish. it's a simple reason. both kewell and diouf are good strikers of the ball. when they play like that, they can cut in and provide more damage penetrating. at least, that's the idea. cos the villa fullbacks were not supposed to be that good. forgive our king of goals to come! he was tightly marked by johnsen and melberg did an excellent job. their centre defence was really on form. apart from being owen's regular partner, he's employed to attack villa's lack of height. he played pretty well but was killed off by an excellent melberg it's a confidence issue. the goals will flow.... My pick of the problem. 1. jamie carragher has no answer to vasell's pace. he was worried and lost at times. 2. risse looked shack! shd have tortured deleany more. 3. murphy was my main problem. he looked awfully unlike himself apart from that marvelous shot. we was supposed to be the paul scholes! (sorry had to mention a MAN U player) if there's a chance, go watch the game a second time. Then you'll feel not so gan jiong and have a better perspective. but honestly, at this early early stage, MAN U can only lose the title!
