I have since written a letter addressed to Frederick Francis asking him to elaborate on his system. Can't believe he is also working with Sentosa to create dunno what coral garden

Today when I was running my 2.4km, heard this scream and then saw this guy literally fall down from the top floor of a flat opposite my school. Immediately told my teacher but he don't believe me . Now heard that his wife and 2 kids were found dead in their house. Such a tragic case....

Received some info that Iwarna will have a shipment of nice mushies this week!!!

Just read the article and here are my views. Firstly, we do not know the background of this maritime law lecturer and whether he is a hobbyist. And like what many have said, his revolutionary method of filtration using bacteria is actually a copy from the methods we know of now. I still can't believe that 15 students are working on this project with new intakes every year. They make it sound like a new poly course . Anyway, you can see in the picture that the tank has so many clownfish and soft corals with a stressed squamosa. Yes, the water can be clean and clear but do they care about the LS? And they say that the method works when the bacteria converts ammonia into nitrates and then it stops there. Do they even bother to remove the nitrates? And if the lecturer and his students think that their revolutionary setup is like top notch, the're probably going to faint when they see some of the TOTM winners here. And to think that they collaborated with a company to mass produce this system with sales over 4 million. Just imagine the number of people wasting their money adopting this method when they can easily replicate it using low cost stuff. And what shocked me is that the lecturer said that it is nonsensical to buy expensive devices to maintain water quality and check the parameters and he explains a whole lot of crap about pH going down...blah blah blah. Hey there's lots more to it than pH bro. And the most controversial and ambiguous issue is that he did not mention the water parameters of the tank running on his system. How then, do we know that the system is efficient? By just looking at the water? I really hope this guy is informed of our club here and would come share his views. Anyone studying in SP mind to tell him of our existence?

Your T5 how many tubes?

There's a special bubble at Iwarna. The colour I have not seen before Anyway, nice specimen

Yours look like a xenia. You should remove it quick and the white ppt is probably the dead tissue

I have millions of those in my overflow box Some sort of tubeworm

I would still want to emphasize the fact that 50ppm of nitrates is very high, almost to toxic levels. Even if it has gone down to 25ppm, it is still too much. Reefers usually keep their nitrates at undetectable levels or at most 5ppm. Are you taking any measures to reduce your nitrates? And your lighting, 2-3 hrs is too short a time to keep your lights on. Its just doesn't make any sense as you don't see the sun for only 2-3 hrs do you? For fluorescent tubes, its recommended to be turned on for about 12hrs and or MH its about 8hrs. I seriously hope you do more research into this hobby first before attempting any difficult LS and much less offer advice to other reefers. Just want you to know that I am not out to flame you but pls do your part to reduce the number of dieoffs

its the fountain nozzle right?

I must say that's a really nice pic you took

Looks more like a pocci than an acro to me

Mine seems to like the bright shine of my MHs, just look at the pic and you'll see

T5s would be great, you might want to consider 2x24w, a white tube and a blue tube

Anyone care to frag for me?

I see some diatoms, you might wanna run some phosphate removing media to remove phosphates and sillicates. And that thing you wanted an id, might be those type of worms that come hitchhiking on LR. Better remove it before it does any damage to your LS

Not only calcium deposits, you may not know what you are precipitating

What's there at LCK?

Love that maxima

What do you mean?

Still looking.... :fear:

Pls get back to the topic This is not Singapore Soccer Club ya know

:paiseh: Btw, i am not trying to start a trend here, just a thread for sharing that's all

Yes, I agree

Come on....show them off
