Liverpool needs to find some billionaire so finance it so that it doesn't need to play good football, just buy everyone else's star players. Oops, Chelsea did that already. I guess with 400 million pounds spent in two years, a 3-2 extra-time win is the least you should be able to get

aiyah. looks like might have to start a nano for my one remaining clam

wow somebody not only got the whole script, they got the screenshots all the way to the end!!

Lyon crushed their opponents 3-0. I always thought Arsenal made a mistake selling Wiltord to Lyon.

haiz maybe that's what happened to mine too

i have two clams dead and cleaned out by shrimps! i dunno if the clams died and then got picked off by the shrimps/stray crabs, or got murdered!! worse, i have a sally light foot that i caught eating the mantle of a live clam! sianzzz

chocolate flavoured or normal?

amazing, Liverpool is the only english club to have won in the champions league this round! but aiyah, they are still 16/1 to lift the trophy haha

hah, this is the first time i've heard anybody say it's "not fair" that a Chelsea player is unavailable for selection. I think it's "not fair" that a club can blow 300 million pounds on players in two years and still be allowed to compete in the same leagues as everyone else.

nothing about that on the news so far leh. fire at which part of plaze sing?

I think if it was a mantis your gobies would have far worse injuries than just torn fins...

this arsenal thread kena hijacked by liverpool fans!!

yeah i also get this sound once in a while... but no livestock has disappeared for over six months... don't think there's a mantis in my tank either.

haha liverpool won. sure the return leg djimi traore will backheel 2 own goals and leverkusen will go through as you can see, i'm a die-hard liverpool supporter ---> used to failure!

LR are good for berlin method of nitrate reduction, yes. But LR don't need to go into the sump, they are expensive enough, should use every piece for your display tank I agree with the reefers' earlier suggestions (and thanks mantis for clarifying my very confusing answer). My 4' sump has filter wool in the first compartment, pump to external skimmer in the second compartment (8" RM beckett cannot fit inside!), third compartment is a DSB and final compartment is all the return pumps for chiller/UV and normal return. By "clean" setup i meant no bioballs or coral chips. The filter wool is for larger particles and other assorted floating junk

jsut tried thaat methodd *hic* it workkzz! *hic*

you should leave out the bioballs. water should flow down over the bioballs, not up from under the baffle. bioballs are not meant to be immersed fully in water, for that you should go with coral chips. but i don't recommend having either bioballs or coral chips. go "clean" and use a powerful skimmer, as the bioballs/coral chips will generate nitrates which are hard to remove from your tank (that's how they get rid of nitrites and ammonia, by converting to nitrates).

win lor. who in their right mind after spending so much on nice LS and rocks and corals will uproot everything and bring for a little exhibition like that. everything die after that how? prize money can pay for it all meh? dunno what these organisers are thinking.

not scolding you or anything just that you can find so much info already in past posts

are they serious? new tank setup, you bring LS, within 1 day of setting up they will judge how nice? doesn't sound like a sensible way of doing it. shouldn't they reward those that are carefully cultivated over time rather than thrown together in a day??

maybe you can give an indication of where you live so ppl can advise a nearer LFS

you want real cheapo method of reefing? 1) Buy a large transparent tupperware box 2) Go east coast, fill with seawater 3) Drop in a rock or two 4) Put in one damsel 5) Put small air pump 6) Change 20% fresh seawater every weekend Ta-da! Cheapo reefing! (actually FOWLR, but aiyah got moving things inside can liao)

actually my fren from melbourne says it is a freak summer at the moment. apparently it just SNOWED in summer in canberra, which is even nearer the equator than melbourne. and in mid-jan when I went to Gold Coast for holiday, it was 18 deg C!!! Surfer's Paradise my foot!!

i don't turn off the skimmer, as it skims from the sump. I turn off the return pump from the sump, so that the water in the tank stays inside the tank. Circulation is done by the in-tank wavemakers. After 1 hour then i turn the return pump on again. There is a mild overflow during this 1 hour as i have a secondary loop from my sump and chiller direct into the tank.

For internet transactions, to prevent people from buying using the information found on a receipt they picked up off the street, most sites require you to enter the three security digits to prove you are actually in possession of the card and not just a receipt. Protect these numbers, never reveal them to anyone over the phone, as they can go and then buy stuff online using your card.
