hello ciaolong,

B4 u get any corals, pls up your stake on the filteration system. Hm... Powerfilter dolphin h-500, a 2 feet overhead? Also corals has higher requirement on lightings. What is the 36w heater doing in your tank? Unless u have a chiller to cool them..... Normally, temperature of the reef tank can go as low as 24C.

[ciaolong]

-.- since when do i have a 36 w heater ....

i have a 100w heater as it says on my website my 36 w is the fluros atm i think u miss read i am getting t5 from singapore end of this week and also a skimmer aquavia. other than that i got my power filter ...

p.s people read careful would be good ^^

Pls be civil with one another, thank you.

Ciaolong is based in Australia now. Probably its cold enough to warrant the use of a heater. There is no misunderstanding.

[diabolus]

well...its not the first time he is asking someone to read his posts carefully, and with the way he is phrasing his posts, hehehe...how to understand?

anyway, paiseh lor.

My equipments were never the best and i've never tell ppl off just becos i have the right equipments and not you. Its the way you phrase your replies to reefers wanting to help u. how would you like replies like yours when you wanna help someone? phrasing them better will help you than hurt you.

well, a good way to answer will be - oh, im not running a 36w heater but a 100w one, this is becos i'm based in perth rite now and it gets pretty cold.

wouldn't this sounds polite and also encourages more ppl to offer you tips,suggestions than --> p.s people read careful would be good

or this reply --> i dont know if people dont read or they dont want to read >.>

i said almost 2 weeks *point to the top replies*

*knock knock anyone home*

chill it bro. it's still winter dun flare.

ciaolong : Hello, I'm sorry I misread your equipment. I appology..... but if you read the time that I post the reply, you will probably understand.... 2.43AM. I couldn't fall asleep.....

From the way, you ask question make me think that you are really new in this area and then I take a look at your equipment spec. How I know you are base in Perth? This is SGREEF remember? I will assume reefers from Singapore, JB, etc and not Perth. No hard feeling.....

[ciaolong]

its ok just had enough of aussie reefers on the forums they tell me off for nothing .... soz lo and diabolus might want to chill down ...... everyone else has ....

[kareen]

actually after some thought, I was wondering why should I apologised in the first place. After seeing diabolus reply, I go thru' your posting..... U r rude...... no wonder the Aussie tell u off. Even if I have misread the 100W heater to a 36W heater.... the point I trying to say is that u don't need a heater, assuming you are one of us..... even with the tank in the air cond room on for 24hours.

Young man, it is easy to make enemy than friend. The way you reply... sooner or later, no one will give u any piece of advise.

Yours sincerely,

Kareen

[ciaolong]

nothing to say or do

its up to u what happens i am sorry i offended u seriously

i am just going to leave it here if u want to say stuff behind my back or watever thats up to u
