  1. Go for new car can but provided you plan your budget properly and loan less yrs so don't get early repayment penality too much.
  2. What scarab, williamuk and myself mean is that if you use rowaphos from day 1 then the rowaphos will absorb the PO4 and prevent PO4 from being absorb by your LR, substrate etc. From day 1 means you use it till the day your tank crash or tear down. If you do not do that then the PO4 gets absorb and when you discover you have PO4 problem and starts to use rowaphos, then the PO4 will be slowly leached (released) and you will have problem like algae growing here. You'll be wondering where all the PO4 are coming from.
  3. Looking at the price of the car from the surface then it seems that the new cars are way cheaper. But there are people still buying cars that are 2-3 yrs old despite the fact that the price they are paying is close to the price of new car. Because most of them just selling at paper value + body. Those people buy this car and will drive them for 2 yrs till just before 5 yrs then scrape them. Depreciation for these cars are very low, just lost on COE value (of course transfer fees, 10-20 on the body cost etc). For the newly registered car you can calculate the break even point easily, at least 5 yrs provided you pay 20-30% downpayment and take max 5-7yr loan. A lot of pple buying at 5-10% downpayment and taking 10 yrs loan.. min must drive 8-10yrs.
  4. Most people change cars in 5yrs because in the past the PARF rebate when you deregister your car before 5 yrs was 130% of OMV and the COE was high. Together with the price the dealer would pay for your car body then it is sort of worth to deregister and buy a new car as the new car price would be near the cost you get back when you deregister After they changed the PARF to 75% of ARF, this is no longer true.
  5. rowaphos should be in use to prevent build up and pooling of PO4.
  6. I thought the with the changes in the hire purchase act, there in no more pentalty for early settlement? Or rather no more rule of 78 in effect. http://www.parliament.gov.sg/Legislation/H...lls/0400037.pdf
  7. try manual focusing and if still cannot focus that means your cam is too near the object. Try 1cm away and refocus... if still blurr then another cm away and try again....
  8. lightning behind clouds + constellation shots. 20sec exposure with NR.
  9. Now most of the shots are done at f/32, ISO 200 and manual focusing. Exposure times vary anywhere from 1/8 to 1sec. I think not much choice to use f/32 to get the max depth of field and with this definately requires tripod. ISO 200 for the super "sharp" feeling. Wow piang non-marine shots also come liao
  10. one more shot. Rics with mini small tube worm on the lower left side of the image.
  11. Me using nikkon 105mm f/2.8 macro + D70
  12. sorry, one more shot of the yuma. I think this one is much better.
  13. zoom out. Sorry hor too lazy to clean glass.
  14. I measured my 1/2hp artical commerial chiller, power drawn is abt 660W. This is done with a clamp Amps meter which does not take into account the reactive power drawn. The 2046W is "cooling power" which is also the same specs that our reef relief and titanium chiller is rated on. You can go around measuring the actual current drawn on each different brands of chiller then decided which one is more efficient.
  15. Bro RAV-64, You can write to Mr Paul Besant International Sales Manager Red Sea / Dupla - International Office Free Trade Industrial Zone, P.O.Box 4045, Eilat 88140, Israel. Tel. 00972 8 6331307, Fax. 00972 8 6379340, Mob. 00972 66663016 Email. paulb@redseafish.co.il www.redseafish.com, www.dupla.com Then you complain about your Red sea O3 and tell him about poor service from Qian Hu. Many months ago I had problem with my prizm skimmer that the motor housing broke by itself after 3 days and no one chap me despite many calls to qian hu and the dealer. They tell me they don't even sell spare parts even if I am willing to buy a new motor. End up Paul settled the problem for me and qian hu replaced a new motor for me FOC.
  16. You could give rowacarbon a shot.. leach the least PO4 for my case. At least undetectable by my PO4 meter. So far tested a few other "low cost alternatives" and all leach detectable PO4.
  17. Around that size the coloring not nice already... already start to turn dark.
