the main reason is for him to monitor his tank when he is in office...or some reefers like me to help him monitor when he is away from office and not at home also..... maybe you can ask him privately for viewing. because it may overload his page and end up he cannot monitor it himself and defeats the purpose of the cam

can even see weileong making funny gestures with his fingers in front of his IP cam

can tell from your powder blue pics that the body very round round..... very well done bro will celebrate 1 year old tankhood for my AT on 1st April 2005 (no joke ) maybe blend some nice fishfood and dry under the sun compacted in a cake shape and let my AT feast on it... okok...keep up the good work melvyn

seriously, seeing the waterline see-sawing left and right does bring some motion-sickness to some... i would recommend those who face this motion-sickness and yet want to use the wavebox to make their tank hood covering the waterline pass the minimum level of the wave movement just a suggestion..hehe

there are really alot of factors out there.... just like i have seen tanks of identical specs/equipment but end up in totally different directions....not in reefing styles i mean...but one ended in "tragedy" while the other doing well. so besides having different owners, i guess the fengshui is one of the other factors resulting in the different results...hehe but like you said "knowledge and care", probaby that's one big factor that differentiates the 2 owners and thus their 2 tanks

good fengshui?

uses T5: possible if enough PAR is garnered from the appropriate amount of T5s used and tank depth factor. no chillers: possible if the location and ambient temperature does not go pass the threshold that the coral can withstand. no skimmers: possible if low bioload or there are other methods of nutrient reduction/removal so all in all, not strange to me all the above can be used if other conditions are met. but if you tell me using T5s when the tank is 3ft deep or more....no chillers when the user is actually in middle east and no skimmers when there are tons of waste contributing organisms in the system.... then i would be very surprised and find it very strange yeah...some japanese have very nice looking barebottom, shallow sps tanks that are really out of this world.

Any lux readings?

Er, what lightings are you running now?

yeah, i agree that what you have been studying has a very high chance of you not getting the chance to use the knowledge since you have a clear idea of what you want to do, and it has got nothing to do with architecture. But look at it this way, you are already in it 3/4 of the way, why not just go for the 1/4 and complete it the best way you know it. After which, do whatever you want with your life/knowledge, like others here have also mentioned, at least you have a nice paper to fall back on. Not to say your 3year basic degree is not decent enough though. But look around you, there are engineers who become school teachers and never get to use what they have learnt, there are engineers who join the financial industry.... although this one year may seem especially long for you compared to the earlier 3 years perhaps, but when u look back long after you grad, you will realise studying is still better, no matter how tough it was. Remember how we used to juggle 9-10 subjects during O levels? Seemed alot for us to handle at that time too, but now you look back? Doesn't seem to have caused a dent in our lives, instead we benefitted from it, even if some of the subjects have no direct practical application to our lives. So treat this honours year as gaining new knowledge and learn new lessons directly or indirectly from this final year. Remember, although it seems to be expensive and wasting time for you to do this final year. Lessons in school are always CHEAPER than lessons you learn in life later on. yeap, it is also best to discuss it in depth with your parents/gf/wife/relatives. For every sucessful entrepreneur, there are tens of thousands others who have failed. But we would definitely want to see that you will be successful in your endeavour and in whatever decisions you make

Well bro, since you mentioned that you have been doing quite well in your grades, I feel that you should continue for your 4th year. Reason is that it probably takes less effort for you to breeze past last year than your peers and you should never let go of this advantage. Your CAP score should be considerably high currently, comfortable enough and even if you lose enthusiasm like you are already mentioning, you should be able to get a decent honours by virtue of the CAP system…. yeah…the system sucks…but since you are a consistent performer, you are just right to do well under this system. Whereas if you have been struggling all these 3 years, then I will probably agree that you should leave and start working since continuing isn’t going to help you much under the CAP system. Next comes to partnership with your fellow archi-mates, you must bear in mind that this is no longer group work for a particular module and everyone is happily or grudgingly messing around with Styrofoam, balsa wood and what-not in the workshop….it is no longer about grades. It is a matter of livelihood, and this is where friendships are often torn apart when it comes to partnerships. It may come to a point where some will leave the partnership due to personal or external pressure like family/gf-wife that this venture isn’t going anywhere and a stable income is actually more important instead of ideals. As one leaves the venture, pressure and stakes are higher for the ones remaining. And then we come to the venture itself. In Singapore, if you have anything really brilliant, very soon the big-boys (private/govt) will be there to eat your pie, and they are already in most places anyway. To find a niche for yourself is already very difficult and before your brilliant ideas come to bear economic long term fruits, other small outfits will be there as well. And even if you do carve a place that the big boys can’t be bothered and there are not much small outfits competing, what you guys may earn is probably not worth all the pressure of it all to keep your outfit going. You might as well be an employee and let your employer worry about keeping the business running. Just do your part in your job and get paid on the dot. Of cos there are intangible benefits such as experience of being your own boss, flexibility, autonomy and so on…..but there are really a lot of things going against you as well… Money is one thing…but more often than not, friendship is lost as well. But if you have a financial backer who will help support the venture if anything goes wrong, then probably you can treat this venture as a paid experience for you and your friends to experience the benefits btw: if you are feeling squeezed by the CAP system and want a breather, why not go for overseas uni attachment (SEP if i am not wrong), you just need to pass the modules at your attached uni and that also means you get to keep your current CAP score when you return (your honours almost presented on a plate to you liao) An archi friend of mine went to University of Newcastle for the attachment....imagine all the fun there, watch EPL in the very county itself....experience what the brits are doing

yeap....especially when nowadays interest for this hobby breaks down probably faster than the pump anyway, how useful a pump in beckett usage is best measured by the water flow rate just after the beckett injector.... otherwise, you can measure air flow suction of the beckett injector chamber as this air flow is induced by the water flow rate through the injector also

all along u like BIG ROUND THINGS mah... nice nice

dun think it's metallic green though...metallic greens seems to have a darker shade like metallic green in cars... this yuma's green seems to be of lime green coloration... so artistic deepblue, lime green right? or metallic green nonetheless, stunning green for sure i have a close relative of the morph u have... not hue perfect relative though..hehe

bro...instead of the pink overcoming the green...u are facing the opposite... maybe u should face the yuma in the opposite way to help the pink overcome the green now just kidding

actually can is can..... the startup cost as well as running cost of small becketts will make it very attractive compared to small needlewheel counterparts, using these Rios given that nowadays there is a trend of giving up this hobby quite fast, probably the rios can last just long enough before this happens for the beckett user. yeah....red dragons have failed to conquer the beckett over a long period of time. Rios? hmmmm, let's be optimistic Then the Rios should have a new marketing slogan: "To go where dragons failed to tread"

ya.... seriously no other place to put it man...headache.... how i wish my tank is near a balcony or aircon ledge must plan properly and the fengshui when i do my 8fter...

what lightningstrike means is that...using non-pressure rated pumps will shorten the longevity of the pumps. it is a matter of when

dun think so.... unless i go ask other friends... but doesn't matter lah....all i know is that my artica sounds like a jumbo jet whereas my teco sounds like a lamb

wa...decibel meter ah... dun have leh.... ya i agree noise is a subjective thing.... what is loud to one may not be loud to another
