Achilles Tang

I really should impose a fine system on you.. bwilly! Sigh!

Kindly note that all commercial sale of livestock is not allowed in SRC. For buyers, you may take note of a recent debate about this issue going on here. It would be good for you guys to know what's exactly happening.

Just edited the title for you so it more accurately describes your post.

I just changed the title from DSB to plenum.

You using Blueline E-ballasts?

You have majano anemones in your tank. Hope you know that these are considered pests as they have powerful stings and easily overpopulate your tank!

Moving out to the Marine Aquarium Forum.

Reefer Guy, Actually, I disagree. All of us, even the ones who are 'banned' by PB, has responded in a mature polite way. I don't see any emotional outburst here. And certainly, no ugly outcomes here. This is the kind of debate that I like. Not petty squabbling and emotional attacks that some forums usually break down to. Just logical explanations, point of views and personal opinions that are exchanged in a sensible, courteous manner. Please carry on, people. Let's hear more views.

This is the Newbie section... go to the top of the forum, you will see the pinned links there.

Hi vass, Can you make your topic title a little more descriptive in future.. it will help you get better response and save people's time from checking out this very vague thread.

I think lets not lose sight of what this issue is all about. There are two seperate issues here: 1. Commercial sale of corals and livestock, be it by hobbyists or LFS using SRC. This is different from sale of corals through propagation or clearing of livestock from the hobbyist's personal tank. Conclusion: SRC will not allow commercial postings and that includes commercial sale of corals and other livestock. This issue is leads to the 2nd point because the source of such coral is rather dubious. 2. Ascertaining the sources of corals being sold. Hence the subject of CITIES controlled imports and how we as individuals and we as a club, should support the sale of such properly-cleared corals and not buy those which are suspicious/definitely not cleared thru proper channels. This issue is clouded because there is no way we are privvy to the workings of individuals or LFS in whether they ALL their livestock is acquired thru proper channels.

We are, for lack of a better word, still the first 'official' marine club in Singapore that is currently unregistered. I don't think we are ready to become 'Official' yet as it involves too much legal stuff, personal and group commitments which at this point of time, from my observation, we are not ready until we really get serious. So we are still an informal gathering of hobbyists with a pseudo agenda, and can still function as effectively. Perhaps one day, when the time is right?

RAZO!!!! Some of these are R-rated!!!! I will suspend your account if you keeping making me do extra work by monitoring where you post... you know very well where this kind of stuff belongs in! Grrrrrr, I'll have to move this to the M18 forum.

Vincent... I think you are the same vincent who sells livestock right?

Fate? You should just keep mushies....

Hi. Are those dead hard corals? What's your lighting like?

Hmmm... I use JBL filter wool.. its very thick.. and should strain out particles. Try increasing water circulation until all suspended particles are captured by the filter wool. Then stop circulation until all the bigger particles have sunk and maybe you can siphon them out. If you 'grind' GAC with a pump... well... haha... this is probably what you get!

PB, I was intending to remove that post soon. Thanks for the reminder. PB & Pospeh, As the way things go, it seems like the pressure is on me to set in stone the tone for the club regarding this issue. Would one person's statement be followed by all as a means to retain membership in the reef club? Or it's just a black and white document posted so that we 'cover our ######' so to speak? I think we need to agree as individuals as well rather than just me setting a 'mission statement'. Do you actually suggest people reading a list of 'do's' and 'dont's', agree and sign off before they are allowed into the club? It seems like we need more dialogue participation from the floor, rather than us 3 keynote speakers, don't you think? SPEAK UP EVERYONE!!

That's rather strange... black cloudy or white cloudy?

He has stated that all stags have been reserved.

If you think this is bad, wait till you use Rowaphos or Contraphos, it'll scare you to death!! The particles do not dissolve. I have them at the bottom of my sump and inside my skimmer! Anyway, you should not soak the GAC in tap water for 2 mins, much less for 2 days!! The most effective period of GAC is actually when its dry... or at least during the first few mins/hours when it is still very new. Therefore you should only rinse it enough to get rid of the majority of black dust, it doesn't have to be completely clear.

Have you not met my wife? She is probably the same height as you.

Anthony.. yes, mine was from CF. And I suggest you repost outside this thread. This thread is for showing off your tangs... not discussing pricing! (will delete it later)

Where's Robe when you need him? or Tanzy?

Yes Bwilly, there will be an SRC T-shirt! Let me get past the BBQ Party first before we can concentrate on Aquarama 03!
