  1. super early morning turn off man No wonder they don't air it on tv anymore...
  2. Nice frag tank! I mean... erm whatever tank u mean it to be la
  3. To cut to the chase, there are a couple of good pinned threads here: http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showforum=6 Do read them to learn more about starting up a reef tank.
  4. haha Siang... you are a practitioner okok dun dilute your thread le. Have fun on thurs! Next time when I'm free will join in.
  5. Unknown quote: when you tell a lie, lie all the way for those who understand.
  6. V. nice shots but the pp abit too overdone for me la
  7. For those that prefer using a more energy efficient alternative to chillers, and have lots of cash to spare, check out Teco's latest aquarium cooling solution. The E-chill sits on the side of the tank, or in sump and costs an estimated 140, 170 and 210 Euros for the single, double and triple fan models. It is outfitted with water temperature and water level sensors, a removable thermostat which can integrate with Teco chillers. I wonder if any local reefers would go to such an extent to reduce our carbon footprint by purchasing a $400 fan.
  8. Hi Larry, don't think I can make it gf commitment... If I can convince her otherwise, might drop by to say hi and intro her to all the cool guys and babe of src no need to count me in for food.

  10. Let's create a thread in photography sub forum and post photos of our shoot on that day! then can c&c and help each other improve our photos
  11. Sunlight = promotion of algae. Hope you're prepared to clean your tank everyday. I would still suggest keeping a normal lighting schedule of 6-8hrs or 12hrs if you're keeping spses.
  12. Nikon and Pentax Cameras Nikon and Pentax store the shutter count details in the EXIF data. For Nikon and Pentax, you can either use My Shutter Count - simply upload a JPG or RAW and get your results – or download Opanda IExif . Note: IExif should work with Pentax; this has not been tested/. However, if it doesn’t, you can still use My Shutter Count to get your shutter count. Olympus Cameras Olympus doesn’t store the shutter acutation details in the EXIF, but conveniently, there’s a nice trick one can use for Olympus bodies. Simply follow these instructions: Turn your camera on Open your memory card door Press “PLAY” +”OK” at the same time Press on the dial, in order: up, down, left and then right Depress the shutter release button fully Press up on the dial Sony Cameras Unfortunately, for Sony users, it might not be possible to find your shutter count. You can try using Opanda IExif, My Shutter Count or even EOS Info/40D Shutter Count – however, there’s not guarantee they will work. It’s worth a try, but at the moment, it doesn’t seem possible to find the shutter actuations for Sony cameras.

  13. Canon Cameras It’s necessary to note that Canon doesn’t store the shutter actuation details in the EXIF data. So for Canon, things are a little different; the best program to check your shutter count is EOS Info. EOS Info is a neat little program by AstroJargon. It’s freeware, although they do ask for donations if you can spare it. It will provide the shutter count, the serial number, the camera model, the firmware version as well as the owner and date the results as well. EOSInfo works with almost any DSLR, excepting the 500D (may/may not work; their website says not, but it’s worth giving it a shot anyway). How does it work? Simply connect the camera to your computer using a cable, run the program and – voila! Your details are there for your examinations. Prepare to be surprised, though, as sometimes it’s more than you think! It’s not available for Macs, though, only for PC’s; however, EOSInfo is the updated version of the 40D Shutter Count a previous edition, which – despite the name – works on almost any DIGIC III/IV DSLRs, excepting the 1D series. It runs on Macs, using a cable as like EOS Info.
  14. How do I find out my camera's shutter count? First of all, check the shutter life expectancy of your camera. It can sometimes be difficult to find this out; camera makers may not even release the details at times. However, this is changing; there are a few resources online with the details. Olegkikin.com features the shutter life expectancy for numerous models from all the different brands; if yours is not listed there, then a quick Google search should provide you with an answer. Now that you’re aware of how long your shutter should or will last, you need to find out the current shutter actuations or shutter count of your camera. It’s basically how many photos you’ve taken. There are several free (freeware) sources on the internet which can be used for this...
  15. If you’ve ever sold a camera on Ebay before, you’ll be familiar with the term “actuations”. Prospective buyers will often write and ask you how many actuations your camera has on it’s meter and you may think “what on earth?!” Actuations (or shutter count) is the amount of photos your camera has taken. And this is an important number because your camera has a life expectancy, just like your car. Yes, I did say that: Your camera has a life expectancy. This is a troubling thing for an avid photo taker to learn for the first time because it’s not something we know until we are told. Although it makes perfect sense that your camera, like anything, will only last so long.
  16. 1) Jacky 2) Mitlancer (subject to timing n date is ok.) 3) Siang (do not have DSLR..using DC to take) 4) Comy
  17. Did I hear MCE600!!?? although 4ft would be pushing the max you can go with this. Especially with heavy stocking. Maybe post a photo of your setup so we can comment better?
  18. Bro, would be better to start your own thread. Take a look at our sponsors section, almost all of them do setup of tanks. My recommendations are to check with Vincent from Aquarium Artist, Victor from Iwarna, Razali from DeLightings first before going to the biggies Aquamarin, and also Reefdepot. What's your budget and space constraints?
  19. omfg tt wall is simply amazing!
  20. Reef Depot sells them. Can call to check if they have stock.
  21. Something's wrong with reefbuilder's website this morning, cannot access it anymore. Was working perfectly fine last night when I was surfing their pages, including this article.
  22. Wow v. thick tank! Just wondering coz you mention you converted one of your spare tanks into fowlr. Most ppl convert from FW to SW and their FW tanks are quite thin, not so suitable to hold the additional weight of salt and rocks. But yours is perfect Be patient in cycling! Is this a strictly fowlr tank or you would convert it to a reef tank in future?
  23. hahaaa Sometimes this is really the lamest part of the show... but I still love the Stig! <<Car screeching from turning at the hammerhead>> . . . . <<Stig driving the car to the tunes of a classical piano concerto>> . . . <<enter Clarkson's voice with a suitable crude joke on Stig's music tastes matching his driving skills>>
  24. woo! lol give me a chance to post the emoticons. Desi, we are all counting down for your eco lamp review...
