  1. Well done! Care to share your UW cam details?
  2. IMO, all hobbyists should only get test kits that are accurate, if not, what is the point. Hmmm... if the accuracy is still quite close to the best rated brand of test kits, its a viable option for the less fussy hobbyist/budget-constrained ones. I see a good alternative to the very ex Salifert for the KH, PH & nitrate test kits. Too bad I don't have a sample to verify against my salifert calcium & dkh testkits and Pinpoint PH monitor.
  3. I've been following the idea of draining water from a plenum sandbed system as a means of avoiding the potential pitfall of a DSB/Plenum sandbed becoming a nutrient sink... it does sound interesting and there is a logic to the method. However, it doesn't seem to produce noticeable results even with a tank with low bioloads & feeding and the experimenter is now using a denitrator and ferric oxide phosphate removers to reduce them to very low levels before this method can work effectively with a tank with higher bioloading. Any comments? It'll be good for debate. The full details can be found here. (Pls, no questions about sandbed basics... newbies, pls read up on the many many posts made about how DSBs and Plenums work. Thanks!).
  4. Going with Vincent & Sharon on their other boat. Wife wants to go to Seven Skies wreck in May. Aiyoh, have to save $$$. Had a great time at the Kuantan Wrecks with the MV Vincent boat. I heard the White Manta's a whole lot more spacious and luxurious? Had a BBQ party there before but it'll be the first time sailing on her! I really like the idea of sailing from SG instead of going all the way to Mersing. AT
  5. I was introduced to the Mares people today... I'll find out for you but do you have more info? What gear? What part number?
  6. Hey! You found the Pygmy Seahorses!! I heard that they were missing for sometime already!! WOW!! Show more photos!! Show more photos!!
  7. Spear Throwing Game I got 520.083... still can't make it to the top listings!
  8. Enjoyed the exhibition. Saw many friends there today! Bought myself a Mares X-vision mask today... a pair ot Radiator gloves. Also that quick-release mask strap from the Fins Booth. Now I'm eyeing the strobes for my Ikelite casing! Man... diving is more expensive than reefing! LOL!
  9. Dun get your knickers all bunched up, mate. I have contacted them since this afternoon. The last contact which is a few minutes ago the techie told me its not our server but its QALA router problems. QALA is a big Data Centre in Singapore.
  10. Seems back to normal. I'll check with them on what's the explanation.
  11. They just contacted me. How's the speed as of now?
  12. Hmmm... my tech reports that its not our server but QALA/SCV leh... if its SingTel too... hmmm.... strange. I'm quite fed-up with the speed too!
  13. I investigated and my server/datacentre is fine. It's QALA/SCV. Happens from time to time.
  14. The beckett has four airtakes for a lot of air/water ratio mix, producing a very thick foam. The mazzei, I believe, has only one air hole.
  15. Ahh... those are the kind that are commonly available locally. But these require MH lighting.... as they are photosynthetic.
