Bro u wanna consider tearing down ur backdrop? lol... It can be an eyesore if not maintained properly... but if u wanna make good use of it... try attach corals to your backdrop, must look damn nice one... keep it up, control the water conditions... if the whole backdrop becomes purple coralline... wow

Bro what format is your file? My comp automatically open it using Excel and it turns out to be some encryption code or something... r u sending us virus? hehe... can't affect me... I'm using MAC

[colinsoon]

this is the coverted word document he was drawing the whole day mah... so must use word...

this is wat he was trying to tell us..

[colinsoon]

and this...

[jervismun]

Thanks bro Soon... and your drawing real pro bro Atlantis

No wonder taken so long... wow what an interesting flow concept u got there... underneath water chamber... sounds quite "dungeon" to me... hehe. But you do need 2 more pumps in the tank to push the water upwards... maybe on the left and right bottom corner blowing diagonally upwards... but gonna look very ugly, unless you hide the pumps.

Remember... when it comes to water flow... do not leave any dead spots in the tank, coz dead spots can easily develop into disaster zones... if you see a lot of deritrus settle at one place... that's a dead zone.

It's very challenging... I have not settle mine yet... still waiting for the $$$.

[Altantis]

r u sending us virus?

Not virus la.

I also find out that error msg, also trying to figure out. When trying to change, web slow then prompt unsuccessful (believed that my uploaded post was already view...u all very fast lol

BTW, thanks to bro colinsoon. Can teach me how to attached word doc like pics..

I'm on my way pasting 1 by 1 the drawing to Paint application; as that I can upload as Bitmap image

Sorry everyone
