since when SS became so gk based. woah now little kids will know what happened in N/S Korea and the Falkland islands. how I wish it was the little kids I know. the little kids who didn't know Lee Hsien Loong was the son of Lee Kwan Yew.

do a search on this forum. this issue was raised before. a reply by AVA was even given.

every manager has their prime. in Clough's prime, Forest were THE team as they were lead to Europe with ZERO stars. he also lead Derby to a league victory with no stars and budget as well. but at the end of the day, Clough was still the greatest manager who pioneered the tactic of "I'm the boss, don't mess with me, but I'm still your friend" managering style. sounds vaguely familiar? (= that's because most managers like Arsene, Alex, Jose and Sir Bobby adopts that same style. (=

at the end of the day it boils down to perception and how you perceive rich as. a group of people may perceive rich as having as many greenbacks in the bank as possible. the other group of people may perceive it as having a fufilling life. another group views it as a combination of the two. so you see. it's all a matter of perception.

ooOO! take care of yourself whilst you are there. (=

yeap. I know Biscan is croatian. just that my sentence structure made it look like I ganged him up with the Senegalese players. (=

money can buy happiness. money can buy health. but money sure as hell can't buy you immortality. or a new life. or REAL popularity, not those money ###### friends.

dust and phosphate? I never knew ions could exist in solid form. urh. you don't get me do you. every organic thing, including you and me, has phosphate in the body. when we excrete waste, phosphate comes out. so getting all the critters in the world, not only builds up unnecessary bio-load, but may also contribute to the phosphate problem through their waste excrements. phosphate also finds its way into the system by ways of feeding and water changes. you still haven't answered that part of the question. the wool has nothing to do with phosphate. only nitrate. trapped detritus, in the long run, will contribute to NO3 levels as wool sure as hell ain't anaerobic, and will only speed up the break down from NH4 to NO2 and NO2 to NO3. skimming controlling phosphate? okay that I believe. and everybody doesn't believe Rowaphos is a must. everybody does believe that Rowaphos will help and can help and is a good helper. nobody is at gun point and pressured into buying Rowaphos. why act like as if somebody twisted your knickers. (= and PS. Rowaphos doesn't cost as much as it does nowadays. a batch of Rowaphos, can be used in the tank for as long as the phosphate levels do not creep back up to 0.03ppm. which for my tank, is six months. spending $80 every six months is quite a worthwhile investment if you ask me. and double PS. Rowaphos has been in the market for some time, and have received many, and I mean MANY rave reviews. are we suppose to dump Rowaphos and pick up carbon after reading your claims that Eheim carbon can absorb PO4 ions?

ah...Robin. feed it once a day. or every other day. or once a week as a treat. (=

frankly, the hogging tub incident will happen, even if there is no publicity. it's just the crazy mentality of Singaporeans...the kiasu/kiasee syndrome.

please read properly. prevent OR reduce. not AND. more likely than not, yes, it will happen. but Rowaphos will prevent it from turning into a green garden. the most you'll have is only a few patches here and there. (= fact. ALL and I mean ALL carbons leech out phosphate. it's a proven fact. be it Eheim or any other brand. (=

urh. Ralph Nader contesting this time round?

RowaPhos is added into a cycling tank so as to reduce the Phosphate levels present in the tank. this will prevent or reduce the likelihood of an algae bloom, especially at the part of the cycling stage where NO3 is in astronomical amounts. I think RowaPhos itself recommends the use of its products during the cycling stage.

urh. the act of Nitrate being reduced to Nitrite and then Nitrogen requires an ANAEROBIC environment. meaning, an environment with LITTLE oxygen. (= only the bacteria responsible for breaking down Ammonia to Nitrite and Nitrite to Nitrtate *NH3 to NO2 and NO2 to NO3* are aerobic. meaning...require A LOT of oxygen. really? then what do you do to solve your nitrate problems? you already said that rowaphos is used as a mean to control uncontrollable *very oxymoronic* phosphate problems. so if it can control a problem, why can't it solve a problem? (= yeap. carbon absorbs a lot of things too. but do you know carbon also leaches out phosphate? that in itself, will add to the problem. PS. why is absorbing trace additions, or trace elements as it is known, a good thing. don't we want it to be in the water for as long a period of time as possible? I never knew carbon could help in controlling algae growth. I thought that was a problem with NO3 and PO4...something which carbon cannot remove. any bio-organic matter will contribute phosphate. phosphate is introduced into the system via food, tap water *during water changes or top up*, and bio-waste like excrements. they do? I never knew. I thought they stirred sand only. hehz. I learnt something new today. (= if that's the case. don't use skimmer or carbon. plain liverocks will do.

cannot as in......you tried but rejected? or you didn't try? as the saying goes, it isn't over till the fat lady sings.

Liverpool never bought a lot of players during their time. although the players that they bought from Senegal were flops. need I remind you of Igor Biscan? poor folks also lost McManaman through Bosman ruling. must be kicking and cursing, even till today.

danke AT.

I start. again. by the way, anybody spotted any neon gobies?

wah jialat. and now they're walking all over my newly bought purple staghorn. gee. I'm really interested in getting rid of them now.

wah. you stand and "fly swat" for how long?

but my ex-gf used to complain till the cows come home when I gave her a boquet. said something about hate seeing it wilting and dying. hence rather not get any. hmm. AT...any idea if they do overseas delivery? ie to say...if I'm overseas, can I put an order with them or something?

what justification is there behind your anemone claims? my tank never had any anemones until three months ago, and my four clown fishes are still okay. none of them go near the anemone by the way. I ran my tank anemone-less for the first few months, coupled with a pair of True Percula Clownfish...also no such problems. (=

home sickness, coupled with stress, is a deadly foe. check with a doctor to see if he can prescribe you some sleeping pills for you to knock out and have good 8-10hrs sleep.

I tried to feed my RBTA just now, after realising that I've not fed it in a while. the dumb cleaner shrimp will just happily go and pluck out the prawn meat, whilst the anemone is trying to ingest it. 1) will this cause any harm to the anemone? the plucking out action that is 2) doesn't the anemone sting the living crap out of the prawn? 3) any suggestions to prevent this from happening? feeding the shrimps prior to that wouldn't work as they are the greediest bunch of shrimps ever.
