  1. have "Simon & Schuster's Guide To Freshwater and Marine Aquarium Fishes" for sale. bought at US$16.00 when in the USA in April 2004. book condition still good. here's the link http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=glance&s=books quote from book: "whether you are interested in goldfish, guppies, or the most exotic marine species, the opening section on starting an aquarium covers everything you need to know, illustrated in color throughout, the 295 entries cover plants, amphibia, reptiles, and invertebrates as well as aquarium fishes. Each entry provides the common name, scientific name, and family; ......a description of shape, color and size; .... feeding habits, .... Next to each entry are easy-to-read symbols that indicate the proper water temperature, pH, and illumination." Contents include plants, freshwater fishes, marine fishes, amphibians and reptiles, freshwater invertebrates, marine invertebrates. So ... after all the intro, here is the price .... Singapore dollar twenty only. Self collect near Katong Shopping Centre at Mountbatten Road/Haig Road. PM me if interested.

  13. folks, this is corporate game play. between ESS and Starhub, they will "negotiate" and play out their game. presumably they will come to an amicable solution, so called in the best interest of their subscribers (i.e. ourselves). then, if not immediate, but in the near future, the increased costs must be channeled back to the subscribers. again, a whole bunch of reasons will be given to justify the increase. but by then, the heat would have worn off, and subcribers forgotten the crap and hurt. should we play their game ? can we go cold turkey ? can we strike back ? UNSUBCRIBE ???
  14. Any one has any idea on this magazine ? Is it worth the reading ? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...nce&s=magazines Please share your feedback. Thanks.

  18. personally, i have no experience in bracing, either to add or remove. but have this piece of advice to give, with due consideration to the consequences. "Don't fix it, unless it is broken". So, if after your modifications, and its broken, what are the consequences ?
  19. sure .... live telecast at 5.00 pm let's start a rumour .... if Singapore gets a silver, then public holiday on a Sunday. when (not IF) jia wei gets a gold, then a real public holiday. the ball is in your court, Mr. President and Mr. PM. cheers for jia wei and Singapore. you have brought us thus far, let's run the last lap together. dedicate this win to our ex-PM Goh who coined the phrase of running the last lap together.
  20. where is the subscription page on the web link ? can anyone point it to me please. thanks.
  21. i am using a JBL test kit also. cannot recall right now, but i believe you have to multiply the number of test droplets by a certain numeral to obtain the Ca reading. just make sure you re-read the instructions again. my $0.02
  22. go to PetMart and ask for a handy chart printed by Tropic Marine which gives all the optimal water parameters for PH, KH, Ca, etc etc. It is given free. may be other lfs have such a chart or something similar.
