  13. TYPES OF WATER SOURCES Water can be represented in several forms: Natural Water In the landscapes and terrain of the Earth, natural water occurs everywhere - as seas and oceans, rivers and streams, lakes and reservoirs, waterfalls, etc. In the Feng Shui context, actual water is more superior and significant as compared to artificial water. Artificial Water In a home where natural water is missing, it is possible to create artificial water. Hence fountains, ponds and swimming pools are all man-made manifestations of water which are perfectly capable of creating auspicious energy flows. Virtual Water There are several different approaches in water theories. In a modern city, crossroads, T-junctions and highways are virtual water points. Water points refer to areas where Qi accumulates. Therefore, positioning of buildings in relation to the water point is vital. It is possible to create wealth luck when the best orientation is established.
  14. pics by Tim Rock, AsianDiver Mag Humpbacks reach sexual maturity between the ages of 6 and 10. For the massive mammals, courtship is a social activity:it involves an energetic and playful group that races along the surface at wild speeds, churning the water up into turbulent splashes of the breaching whales. The males use their teeth, tailstock, tail and other parts of their body as weapons when aggressive combat breaks out. Competition can be tough as females may mate with more than one male, choosing those that produce the largest quantity of sperm. In addition, males sing a long and complex song that can last up to 20 minutes - there exist two such songs, one sung by the humpbacks of the Pacific and one by thise of the Atlantic. Though the pitch of the sonf is most likely involved in the mating ritual, other males do respond to the song. This means it might be used for another purpose such as echolation. WHOSE IS THE BIGGEST? It's no surprice: the Earth's biggest animal is also the most well-endowed. Indeed, the blue whale holds the record for absolute size, with the largest penis measured reaching 2.4 metres!!! Little is known about the mating ritual of blue whales due to the inherent difficulties of studying these animals. However, we do know that they mate from late autumn and all through winter, generally near the surface and in warm waters...

Iron is commercially available in three forms: ferric chloride (FeCl3), ferrous chloride (FeCl2), and ferrous sulfate (FeSO4). All are corrosive and therefore must be carefully handled. Theoretically, 1.8 pounds of iron is required to remove one pound of phosphorus (as P). However, to achieve low phosphorus concentrations, much more is required. Approximately 1 mg/L of alkalinity is consumed for each mg/L of iron added; as a result, the wastewater pH drops approximately 0.1 per 10 mg/L of iron added. Iron works over a wide pH range. Iron salt solutions contain some trace metals: up to 75-100 mg/L depending on the product.

It is also used in biochemical research to block the activity of divalent cation channels, mainly calcium channels. Doped with cerium, it is used as a scintillator material. The Lanthanum chloride dissolves in the water, giving free Lanthanum and Chloride ions. The Lanthanum ion attaches to a Phosphate ion and produces a an insoluble salt like Aragonite CaCO3, which settles to the bottom or where some may get picked up by the skimmer. One needs to be careful with this stuff, as it is easy to form LaCO3, which can deplete the Alk.

  18. Found them in AsianDiver Magazine No 109, Issue 4/2010 :thumbsup: Some feature marine mating methods and sexual maturity info.... add on our reefing knowledge.... Dolphin sexual maturity ~2 to 15 years.... Dolphin become sexually active at a young age, even before reaching sexual maturity, which depends on species and gender. Females seem to be sexually receptive during a large part of the year and are normally responsible for initiating a courtingship that can last several days. Reproducing during spring, the dolphins swim together and pet each other with their fins, with the male making elaborate calls and swimming patterns. Just before mating, the male rubs and nuzzles the female. The mating act itself only lasts one to two seconds. It happens belly to belly and may be repeated several times within a short time span, Various species sometimes copulate with other dolphin species. Dolphins are known to have sex for reasons other than reproduction. Cheers..
  19. APPLICATION OF WATER THEORY Water is fundamental to Feng Shui. It is a prime carrier of energy force in the atmosphere. Since both water and air are living elements essential to the well-being and existence of Mankind, they are very important in Feng Shui practice. Water, along with Wind, forms a bridge between Heaven and Earth. This is part of the reasoning why Feng Shui is represented by the Chinese characters Winds and Water. Wat carries Qi wherever it flows. If the water stagnates, then the Qi also stagnates. If it rushes past rapidly, then the Qi is dispersed. The accumulation of stagnant Water will create Sha Qi. Water formula suggest that it is best to receive unpolluted, clean, moving and mild water. It also suggests that water should not be flowing too fast because fast-flowing water are purveyors of bad Qi. Water which flows too quickly or in a straight line conducts Sha Qi is undesirable. A slow and meandering water flow is the key to good Feng Shui enhancement. Consequently, it is vital to make sure that the water circulating throughout a building or existing a building or site is properly organized. When orientated correctly, the water in front of the house is responsible for bringing in and accumulating quality Qi. General Water principles talk about correct water flow, correct entrance and correct exit directions of water. Water is also a symbol of wealth and prosperity. When the alignments of energy lines are conductive to auspicious Feng Shui, other benefits also accrue. Just as Water plays a key role in our physical existence, so does it in our application of Feng Shui. Water may be one of the greatest sources of beneficial Qi, but excessive usage can also drown out its positive effects. Therefore it is vital to keep in mind that the use of water for creating good Feng shui should reflect the natural balance and harmony within the surrounding environment. Water theories apply to the external environment. When oriented correctly, water and all the various , manifestations of water within view of the main door or entrance attract good fortune. Therefore, we have to observe the following carefully: - External environment of a build or house. - Look out for actual water, eg drains, river, reservoirs and seas. - Determine the flow, cleanliness, and speed of water. - In the absence of actual water, roads, highways, car parks and open ground act as substitutes. - Investigate the entry point of incoming water if any. - Inspect the exist direction of outgoing water flow. - Check whether the traffic flow is Yin or Yang - Observe the terrain and gradient of the roads. Finally, we will apply the various water theories that map water flows by charting which direction they flow in order to tap the beneficial Water Qi.
  20. Some read up on below book "Basic Science of Feng Shui by Vincent Koh" on Water Theory... Cheers...
  21. Another one... Yuyuan Garden 豫园 also near MRT Station.. Yuyuan Garden.. Cheers...
  22. No idea about reefing stuff there... but if you looking for Bazaar/flea market... A few places...
