BLACKOUT in Choa Chu Kang area....

[CKS]

heheh..maybe some terrorist got inspired by the movie "Spy game" ??

The august 14th blackout in US was caused by some software glitch

[jesperlam]

Heard from my friends they say bt batok and bt timah also kena...thru out so hot cant even get to sleep...then ppl start using their torch light and shine here and there...

Was stirring the water in intervals during that blackout...gave me a scare!! Was so worried abt my corals n LS...

hamannbmw,

You are not new here so you should know better than to post in all caps.

*Edited by moderator*

..... did i post all in caps , i cant remember anyway. But even if its in caps, anything wrong , care to explain....

*confused*

Typing in caps on the internet is equivalent to shouting.

Anyway, glad nothing serious happened to those affected. Think its time i get a backup system too.

Think i shall buy 2 more battery operated airpumps to aerate the water should anything happen. They should be able to run at least 24hrs-48hrs non-stop on Alkaline batteries. I ever used the Duracell and Energizer Alkaline batteries before on my Sur*catch battery pump, could run for at least 48hrs.

This incident reminds me to hook up my UPS to one of the Streams. Should last me a few hours running on 1x6100 stream..

APC should be a good brand. I'm using the lower version for my tank. APC 500es i think. Cost about $75/-. But can last only 15mins + surge protection only. There are other higher end model for APC. Can check out their website if you are interested.
