dude, 3 days just at lourve?? no way... i admit, i'm not that much of a art lover... THough i am really impressed with all the architecture... i'm very impressed with the old buildings in europe... so much culture and heritage. oh today's trip to rotterdam was a very enriching one... enroute, we stopped by a small town where there were windmills, the traditional ones... so beautiful man... will share some pix when im back. anyway, weather has been really really cold, its all the while below 20degrees, and today was a cold 3degrees. Think i'm going to suffer when back in town. But first, need to ensure that my luggages are within the weight limit... with all the shopping, there's a very high chance that we will exceed the 50kg limit.

hey bro... thanks for the advice man! i also think my water is LN as there are no livestocks in the main tank at all. my first task is to ensure that the existing livestock can survive in main tank before i buy any new ones... hope i can find another hardworking kole like my previous one. and yes, credit to Ray for keeping everything alive during the past 2-3 weeks.

ah.... bro, it's ok lah, i think u've helped a lot already bro. Wow the entire container of water all finished?!? that's like a good 5 pails of water when i first prepared. The rest can wait till i get back on Tues morning (eta 0630hrs). Cant trouble you too much lah... In any case, there's also not enuff salt left, cant do anything too. I'll pop by pasir ris to buy salt and check out some live stock. Too long never shop for marine stuff, hands very itchy. time flies huh, its just another 3 more days before holiday ends... sigh. Reality is beginning to set in.

believe me that i was at louvre but didnt go into the musuem itself! haha... it was too crowded and we had more important places to go! LV was the real reason (not Lourve) why we were at Paris and i rewarded myself with a new belt! woo hoo.... gotta go Rotterdam now, so see you guys later tonight (or early morning SG time)...

Hehe, thanks bro, i'm sure the stuff are all in good hands, the photos looks good.... mantis, hmmmm... dun bluff lah, it's ok if you guys had it for supper. i'm cool. just get a peacock mantis as replacement, i'm ok. on the contrary, it didn't rain in spain. In fact, the rain was everywhere but spain. We had the best sun in Spain and almost got a sun burn during a short swim/tan session. But the rain in Paris was boring. Everything look so dull and gloomy, you can tell from the pics. Will post some shots when im back in SG. anyway, i kinda revisiting the thought of a new 4'. hahaha... but i guess all will change once im home again.

eh, oni bro, how come you use the "kiss" emoticon sia? dun tell me you are with Ray? hmm.... anyway, like you said, corals are doing good under his care, he's got ability to take care of a bigger tank than his current nano. Andn the mantis, nah, im not overly concerned... i managed to survive 2 years with it in the main tank, if it's in again, then so be it. But of coz, better without lah... so dun need to keep hearing 'tick tick tick' at night. Yo Ketchup bro, you are semi-professional. I'm just an amateur man... haha... but 500 a day is really excessive man! I cannot imagine sorting out the 'good' and 'excellent' from the rest. Honestly, during the past few days, i tone down alot, only took abt 50 a day, some even use my iPhone. Getting lazy lah... One of the site worth mentioning is the Lourve, i was really impressed with the design and architecture. Desi, Ray: no problem lah, if it's in, then let it be lah... it's fate. hahaha... but im sure Ray and Jeremy had it for supper liao, that's why come up with this excuse! hahaha..

woah... everything looking good man, thanks a million. zoas - much better than expected! i kinda expect half the RB zoas to KIA. rics - 2 of the green rics seemed to have shifted position. hehe i know, cos the 2 were placed at a particular spot to cover some ugly rock hole. bubble - good size now! seemed like it just enjoyed a good feast... multicolour acan - nice nice nice... glad to see it surviving! duncan - beautiful! like you said, this is my success story. super sun - all polyps open wor alveo - think it seems like it needs some feeding... haiya, overall looking damn good, now i can enjoy the rest of my holidays... thanks much bro... as for the mantis, somehow i just think you guys had it for supper and left it's carcass. doubt it's in main tank, else i would have received a sms from you already. though, it would have been pretty cool to keep a separate mantis pico hor.

Okie dolor lemon bro. Heard abt ur new tank plans. Cool huh. Would be glad to help if you need any. Will call u when I'm back. Most prob over the weekend k.

bro, after this trip, cannot afford to chiong lfs anymore. I'll post some pix when back in sg. Need to go thru all the photos. I took abt 200shots a day. Crazy I tell u. But just really miss my boy and wondering how's the tank.

We want pix! We want pix! And Ray, why do I think you're half kidding me on the mantis going back into the tank? Haha. Back to civilisation again! Phew. Got internet again. Btw, I think my mum is staying over at my place this week. So if u r going over, dun be surprised k. Counting down now, 5 more days of holidays.

Hey guys. I'm back online again. Last night in Spain. Will be off to Paris tomorrow. Really doubt will have internet access for the next 3 to 4 days. But do help post pics if u take them k. Totally forgot abt the green mantis. Maybe should take out my pico glass tank in the cabinet next to the main. Must try to ween it to frozen food though. Tough bugger huh, could go without food for so many weeks. No to mention in a small scoop of unaerated seawater.

Also available at Bedok reservoir road, Wilson's tank.

Hey Jacky bro. Why this move man... Anyway, it's been fun having u ard. All the tcss sure made the forum a lot more active! Respect ur decision man! But do give me a call/SMS whenever you coming to the east end! We should meet again once I'm back in town! All the best!

har! You bro, I heard that u left AP. Hey, my house keys are with Ray. Feel free to contact him to drop by my place. Be merciful to the frags. Make sure I got some nice frags left k. Dun take the nice ones and leave the trash. Am now in Sitges, Spain. Hard to get Internet access here. only managed to get now at a cafe. The house that we rented has no wifi. Bad. But the weather's getting better. 19degrees today. And we managed to take a dip in the ultra cold water pool this morning. Pics will come later once we are back in holland. Till then, miss you guys and the tank. Brudder Ray, I've got ur prezzie liao! Hehe. Damn it was such a terrible moment getting it! Tell u more when I'm back. Any update pic??

you can always give Ray a call and help him with the water change, and in the process, say it got sucked away by the siphon tube. i can close one eye! (but another is staring at you ah!) lol Ahem, Hermes, are you kidding me? i like also lah, my colleagues recently have been wearing the hermes belt, you know the huge H buckle... dunno why but seems like they dun feel the pinch buying a 4-digit belt man! siao liao. guess bonus must have been good for them. but for now, LV is just fine for me.

eh, i forgot to tell u frag plugs must see how, coz most of them are just 1 or 2 pieces each, or i've plans for them to grow into mini colonies. and 2 of the SPS montis on frag plugs are chilli pepper (a few red notes wor) anyway, u take first lah, but gotta let me know which one k... i know there are a few which i need. oh yes, the cynarina is just too precious... you mean the duncans are in main already?? cool man... that means must feed them too... gosh, lotsa work to be done bro.

LV wallet? dammit, u already haf 1! somemore its even bigger than mine! hahaha. but i've got something else installed for you lah, something that i dun haf, and never ever will. (sounds exclusive hor!) Don't bother to 'guess', just wait for it. (oh, i'm still finding for it though) eh, i dun expect u to be lugging ur DSLR to my place wor. haha. and feel free to transfer into the main. From the looks, the other bubble can go in, and the remaining rics. But for zoas, if u are intending to, might need some Coral Rxing before you place them in. (remember to rinse the Rx-ed stuff with fresh saltwater mix before placing them in, else will be in trouble). oh the alveo, if need to shift to more light, pls feel free to, and you know where i put all the marine snow etc... if need be, dump in the oyster egs... (just a spoon that comes with the bottle). mushrooms, i think can leave them in tub first, i intend to do some fragging and stick them all unto some rock before placing in main tank.

no lah, happened to be staying in my cousin's place, got free internet, so might as well. but confirmed addiction liao lah.

uh huh... good to be able to see the tank even when i'm like half way round the globe. haha. Thanks. The image resolution seems a little low and size a little too small. Cant really see much details, esp the alveo, but can roughly tell that the rics are fully opened, bubble also doing much better compared to previous. can lah, i think with a couple of water change, it should be fine. As u can see, i've labelled all the pails 'swee swee'. Also left the refractometer there.

problem is the shops close at 6pm. so u can imagine, suddenly so much free time on hand. This i guess is what they call quality of life. as for weed, yah, seen the 'coffeeshops', but no go for me man. i'm just looking forward to travelling ard europe now. Will be heading to Barcelona tmrw for abt 5 days, then on to Paris where my wallet will take a severe beating... after that, i guess it will be the start of counting down to my return to SG...

hmm... do u also have a hand in raping raiding my tub? haha.. yah, no problems lah, gotta really trouble Ray and gang to do water change for me... owe them big one. oh yes, today it rained almost the entire day, weather forecast says tmrw is going to sunshine, so looking forward to a full day of shopping! yo Law, am currently at Holland, Nijmegen, a small town abt 1.5hrs drive away from Amsterdam. Stayed 1 night at amsterdam and visited the 'night spots'.. pretty interesting. During this time of the year, the sun doesnt set till ard 9.30pm. Haha, Jacky, u said it. Of the 3 you listed, it's more of addiction... but since you mentioned dedicated and committed, i'll take them too. Surely i put my kid first lah, in fact, due to time difference, i had to wake up at 7am in the morning to do video conference to see him. Taught my mum how to connect to Internet and use the webcam. Quite cool... but it is really slow. Now i wish i install a webcam for my tank before i left. yo Karl, thanks dude! i surely want to enjoy the trip and forget abt work for the time being.

thanks for the SMS earlier bro. Looking good leh. Good shot of the tank leh. I hve never shot this angle before. Day 3 so far, already missing my kid and tank. Counting on u dude. It's been raining almost everyday. Temp is like 10degrees during the day. Quite cold, it's especially bad when it rains. Shopping is a hassle cos the shops close by 6pm. Sian. Anyway, look forward to ur next update bro. Most prob can't access Internet for the next few days cos will be travelling Starting Wednesday. Till next time guys.

Good bye people. See you guys in 3 weeks. Replyin from changi airport via the iPhone.

definitely! btw: i've changed my LED to power the Algae Scrubber and moved the PL into the sump, so it's easier and brighter when you need to access the sump area. (i.e. you only need to switch on the PL light in the sump (small switch at the front, nearer to right side of the lamp). will sms you later.

eh, nope... will be me, wifey, my youngest sister and her hubby. my boy is probably a little too young to appreciate and it's quite hectic (read: troublesome) to bring him around... cannot enjoy lah...
