  1. SRC Support Team is always there to help! If the solenoid goes off... i'll help you get a replacement. That is, if your caretakers at home notice something is wrong and call me! LOL! What? Your tank? More than I can chew? Heheheheh! You dun want me to spew an Ali G comment rite?
  2. Hmmm... by any chance are you called fishnfish in some other forum? Nevermind. Well... young 'punnies' (err.. what's that?) or not, knowledge is a well-respected trait regardless of age. Many younger hobbyists here exhibit enough know-how to impress some of the older ones here. As for experience, well, that's also highly subjective. Someone who spends two years cramming all he can read, study and research, spending the money to get the right stuff, conscientiously maintaining his tank and doing his best to learn more everyday VS someone who keeps many marine tanks for 6 years, without truly understanding the biology, chemistry, mechanics and ecology of the marine world, and keeping up with advances and trends... would he truly ever be judged as being an old salt coz his hands was in saltwater more often then the guy with only 2 years? Is there more pride in number of years/number of tanks vs keeping one tank in great condition for a shorter duration? Can I assume you are running a farm since you keep tens or hundreds of tanks? Can I say WOW! Everyone's experience in this hobby is unique so I won't be so quick to judge someone. But we setup this reef club so we can learn from one another and help one another. Would you like to share with us more about your experiences since you said you are keeping tens/hundreds of tanks? That's quite a handful, isn't it. Are the livestock for sale or are they all show tanks?
  3. Yeah... I mounted an acro frag almost horizontal and it is already branching out and upwards!
  4. If you need me to babysit your tank or troubleshoot any probs which crop up... I'll be more than happy to do so. Just give your dad my handphone number! AT
  5. Not before you conduct a course in photography for SRC!!! And when you do, I'll be happy to take the D. cam off you! LOL! I love your pictures!
  6. Hi Swfish, You are new here so I'll say "Welcome to SRC!" You'll find that most of us are rather friendly and helpful folks... so...hmmm.... not really nice to dig at those who could potentially help you out in future, right? Flatworms are a problem which many hobbyists around the world battle... and it takes guts to take drastic steps like what Morgan and us did... we are talking about potentially killing corals worth thousands of dollars, kept over many years. We did what we did after careful deliberation, great teamwork and resourcefulness in finding something which might work in killing the flatworms but hard to find in SG... and if the club wasn't in existence, we wouldn't have been brought together to accomplish what we did that day. I dare say you won't know much about this matter as we do. And if you are experienced and knowledgeable, we'll welcome your input. After all, we learn something new everyday. AT
  7. Give us time guys... we'll catch up with German, Japanese and American reefers in terms of acros! Save money folks... coz we'll be entering the world of high electrical bills coz of good lighting & skimming! I'll do what I can to take us there! Hint!
  8. You know if I organise photo of the month, you're disqualified!
  9. LOL!.... I guess!!! Frankly, I have left the days of powerheads behind me.... REEFTECS all the way!!!
  10. Yes, I will create more sea monsters.. lol!
  11. The principle is to have water currents colliding to create turbulence.
  12. My friend is trying to get me into WC3 online. I used to be a Starcraft fanatic... I was ranked 600 worldwide once.. I think! LOL! Hydralisk rush is my fav! I am actually borrowing a CD key tonight from another friend and battling tonite!
  13. The crashing is due to accumulated heavy metals in a reef tank. If you have enough LR, it could also crash as the LR will absorb the heavy metals. If you have a DSB... that too could become saturated. So what now? Anyway... it only happened to one of his tanks... and he has yet to come up with scientific proof studied across many tanks. So like I said... no need to panic. Or you can switch over to glass beads and plastic rocks.
  14. Meine fremd-sprechenden Freunde, lassen Sie uns nur hier im kopi-tiam sprechen und nirgendwo sonst, bitte! Meus amigos extrangeiro-faladores, vamos falar somente aqui no kopi-tiam e em nenhuma parte outro, por favor! <_<

  18. Some people will have difficulty growing coralline... need clean surfaces on LR (free of cyano, macroalgae, hair algae etc).... good water quality eg. low phosphates, high calcium, high alk etc. Even lights will be a factor...
  19. I am working on the portal content over the weekend. I will need all the info on marine fish shops. full name, address, contacts, opening hourse, other basic info etc. Need your fullest help on this! Thanks all!
  20. Let me guess.... you are the LH owner? But I am sorry, we will not organise a search party to rescue an Ah Beng fish with baluku on the head (that's what my friend I met for lunch just called it).
  21. Spade, alternatively, you can take a SPADE and manually stir....
