ooops forgot one important thing Lemon. Can help me check how to use the gallery section that Nigel mentioned? I cannot open the page. Error msg: Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. thanks in advance!

Lemon My choice of words prob reflect my personal thoughts and that is what I think. I do not think it would cause any misunderstandings and neither am I trying to create any trouble. To me, the market IS silly and really bids are for the rich who can afford the game. I am not bias towards the bidding system but it is a fact that - the average reefer will not be able to afford those bids. You can agree with me or disagree with me, its ok but surely such general comments do not need to be muted lah bro. Open sharing of thoughts are good for communication. I am trying to establish a sharing culture so really reefers who do not agree with my chain of thoughts prob should not participate in this. This is the reason why I was reluctant to mince my words. Also I am just encouraging reefers to see if they find a buyer within the grp 1st. Just like where you sell your corals octos etc, you go to some of your reefers kakis and see if they want to buy/ reserve 1st. When your 1st post indicate it is for sale, you also mentioned it is reserved already. So its something that is similar. I have mentioned it is voluntary, so sellers can decide if they want to sell or if they want open for bidding. Decision still with them lah. SRC has a few thousands members. The group sharing is only about 10 - 20 members lah. How to go astray? No one will boycott the pasar malam. I think if I type more, then there will be more arguments. I understand where you are coming from. I have already mentioned that I am going to consult with Larry 1st regarding this to avoid conflict of interest. so no worries on that part. If he has same concerns as you, then we can do this via another channel and not within SRC so as not to put your guys in a bad spot. but really hor, kudos to you. you really do read very well and put thoughts into reading them. other things is loosen up a little and let go a bit on the "policing" part.

did yours go away Ray?

I think Peter has 2 types. One is purple fission (more purplish) and this one is more pinkish.

I am receiving other PMs leh.....

exciting race to the finish..... Rooney is on red hot form..... wonder if he will get burnout when world cup approaches.....

we are all chiefs here lah.... I am the co-ord chief....

Thanks for the inputs Luke. Glad I was making sense to you guys. Was rather tired last night. On your point 2 regarding extending the scheme to other fraggable corals, I am ok but it may be too messy trying to work on too many things at one time. I think all of us are open to other corals but different reefer targets different corals. SPS may be the only other category that some of you would like to share. Most nano tanks cannot cater to their water requirement. whereas zoas are rather universal and tons of varieties. Agree? But having said that, lets play by ear and take each shipment as it comes along. maybe when we see exotic Flavias, we can purchase and frag too. Lets keep this open.

Nigel, when I click on the Gallery page (on the top above "view new post"), I get the following error. Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. can assist to rectify?

Desi, You should by now that whatever statement Peter makes, you need to discount it by 70%. He is AKA TC King. lol. Jacky

no idea why its blocked. hmmm...... nvm lah, u can always drop me a note at my tank thread or SMS me. okie. now I can try out the powder. Did not dare to try earlier cause I do not know how much to dose

feed less but more often

Thanks ReDs. If that can be done, it would be great. I have not explore gallery functions. Will try that out today.

and the satisfaction of seeing them grow. I had a 1 polyp frag expanded to 4 now and another 3 polyps expanded to 5! beats buying a mother colony anytime

its like the bubble tea thingy, then the donuts, the hello kitty's .... hehe

but also read that clams lose their colour intensity / luminousity due to lack of lighting. Pls correct me if I am wrong. but in any case, I agree to lower it from the LED 1st, then maybe slowly raise it to mid level and see how it does.

Paul Coming along very nicely wow..... within such a small space of time.... Those frags look very out of place against your big tank and large colonies of zoas... wahhahaha..... hope they bloom bloom bloom....

Hi guys Since we have 20 interested in this FEG (Frags exchange group), I think let's try and see if this will work out. I am thinking of proceeding this with a 3 throng approach. The purpose of joining this group is to 1) have an open avenue for exchanging frags among a group of dedicated reefers. I will build up a blog site so that we can post pics of available frags for exchange. The reason why I want to use blog site is because I am unable to edit the pics of past posting in this SRC forum and hence, it will be very difficult and tiring to update the available frags weekly.Hopefully this will help the newer reefer to build up their collection faster. Honestly I think AhLee, Klyve and prob some others already have a wonderful collection and I am not sure what the newer reefers like myself has to offer for exchange but lets set out in the motive of assisting everyone build up their tank collection. One thing I need to request is that once you have posted that a frag is available for exchange, please keep it reserve for the group for 7 days. Whoever that is interested can then contact the owner directly and work out the exchange details. After 7 days, you may wish to keep it listed on the blog site or if you decide to sell it off, pls take the pic off the site. 2) Share corals acquisitions. Certain corals at LFS could be too expensive or might be too huge for nano tanks (like mine). We can share the cost for these corals. The arrangements for this is a bit more tricky due to $$ involve and division of mother colonies into frags. I am proposing that we trust the person purchasing the corals. Example if Iwarna has a zoas shipment coming in on Sat, then prob the reefers staying in the east will chiong the shipment (if you are available and would like to join,pls feel free to do so). Before shipment day, all of us will need to commit if we want to share the zoas. Lets say if 10 persons are interested, then everyone would pay out front $30 (I am just putting in a figure) to them prior to shipment day. The buying reefers will then decide on the corals acquisitions with that $300. If Please note that should you decide to participate, you will need to trust the buyer in his corals judgement and integrity. GO shipment are easy because there are photos. Other LFS will be like lucky draw Of course if there is no nice zoas, then there will be no purchase. Collection has to be within 2 - 3 days from purchase date. This can be applied for corals in Pasar Malam too. Can pool together to share a coral that is on bid/ sale. 3) Sell corals to fellow reefers I know you can prob fetch a higher price in todays silly bidding market. But I would like to urge reefers that if you have a frag to sell, try to sell them within the grp 1st. You don't have to sell it low but just post it at an amount you wish to receive for it. This will fundamentally help the group. There are younger reefers who are students and some who has just started working or saving to get married. There are also others who cannot afford to bid the way it is happening now. just thinking of ways to even out the playing field a little. This is totally voluntary. Thanks for reading such a long message. Please give me your thoughts, suggestions etc. Of course if you feel that this is not what you are looking for, please feel free to retract your nick. If you are still keen, please drop me your mobile number via SMS. My mobile 91853586. I would still need to run this through Larry 1st just t make sure that there is no conflict of interest.

all supersuns about the same one lah ..

ROFL

yah he sent a courier guy lol ...... I think next time, he might send a helicopter to pick up .... hehe just kidding ...
