  1. Cut up pieces of prawns to feed clams???? Who told you that??!! You'll kill them!!!!! Pls pls research more before you do anything to your livestock!
  2. If you don't see any of the nuisance micro or macro algae on them, then you don't have to scrub them.
  3. Rectified! Sorry, I must have flipped the wrong switches at 3.45am this morning!
  4. What?! You don't feed brine shrimp to clams!!!! They have gills inside which process phytoplankton!!!
  5. This is so farnie... that I think Rumor's gonna get really pissed at somebody real soon... Phang "Nuclear Bomb Detected"
  6. Hmmm... I wasn't aware that the upgrade would affect individual settings. Sorry!
  7. Anyway, what amazes me from this HK reef club is this: A DSB in a jar!!! I wonder how they run the circulation and filtration for it!
  8. Ahhh... you just picha alvy's lobang!
  9. Spade, Making good use of the new smilies huh? I was wondering when we'll start using this... lol! May be the next flatworm session?
  10. You never know! It might happen sooner or later!
  11. Hi Polarie, Welcome to SRC! It's refreshing to see a lady in here! Sure, perhaps during the next SRC gathering, I'll bring my dog! Do have dogs? AT
  12. Aluminium foil and Aluminium sheets are two different things! I think you meant 'sheets' right?
  13. Any comments on speed? Izzit slightly faster than before?
  14. Chanbi, A good reflector is MORE important that the bulb itself, IMO! A good reflector will bounce a LOT of light back into the tank and also helps prevent wastage by restrike (eg. all the light reflected back into the bulb)... take a look at the spiderlight... it has a V shape where the bulb sits under, the V prevents light from hitting the bulb but is deflected off the V to the sides. It is a good investment and one should not ignore try to put every light atom into your tank! Light is precious and expensive!
  15. Ouch! Now you know, Wedgee....!
  16. Guys, go the market... go and buy those sea snail, locally called 'zhoo zhoot' or is it called 'lala', it's those type where you have to use a toothpick to dig out the foot of the snail and once you can grab hold of the claw-shaped hard protective 'opening cover', you can pull out the entire sea snail... slurp!!! Yum!! The shell is white in colour. Sorry, that's the best I can describe!
  17. Use a toothbrush, it'll do a good job in snagging hair algae and stuff. You will want your rock nice and clean and free of rotting debris eg. dead sponges, algae etc. Leave the coralline algae alone, you want that!

  19. The Advantages of Breast Milk A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom, staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give four advantages of breast milk." What to write? He sighed, and began to scribble whatever came into his head, hoping for the best: 1. No need to boil. 2. Never goes sour. 3. Available whenever necessary. So far so good - maybe. But the exam demanded a fourth answer. Again, what to write? Once more, he sighed. He frowned. He scowled, then sighed again. Suddenly, he brightened. He grabbed his pen, and triumphantly, he scribbled his definitive answer: 4. Available in attractive containers of varying sizes.

  21. Canon G3!!! A fabulous range of cameras.. the G series! Take a look at this digital camera review site. My fav!
  22. I know my current H&S is an aspirating venturi type. The aspirating skimmers are the H&S Euroreefs and other US made brands like DAS, turbofloaters etc. These skimmers utilize a very unique impeller which "aspirates" (draws in air) and chops it into microfine bubbles, creating very fine foam. They are also much more energy efficient, Then there are the beckett types, requiring a powerful pump to drive them (downside). A Beckett fountainhead (which is a venturi valve), produces very good fine foam. They are known to be good enough to 'over-skim'. Beckett skimmers have shorter water dwell times (unless you get tall ones). These tend to be rather big. There is a new skimmer range from Germany which I am waiting for more info on.... supposed to be better than schuran & H&S... trust the Germans to come up with great technology... I WANT MY MERC SL!!!!
