Siren and flashing red lights when tank cabinet touched by small kids learning to walk. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

It was so 'skinny' until can see skeleton. now it's so much more fleshy and it's ready to be placed back to the main rocks. (when i find space for it). hahaha..

wilsontantw Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Siren and flashing red lights when tank cabinet touched by small kids learning to walk. haha... very imaginative! it's a flashing red light alright... but unfortunately not connected to my tank yet. I placed it there coz no place else to put... But wouldn't it be nice if it flashes when little boys/girls touch the tank??? Probably if i finally decide to splurge on an Aquatronica.... haha...

Thereafter, i target feed with henry's food. (only the left overs after feeding the fish). it's quite a joy to see them feed... must slowly fatten up mine... they've been starving for too long. hth.

wilsontantw Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 kena deep poison liao..... 2.5 feet... fish very poor thing... keep swimming in circles... tangs (my favourites) cannot do their usual sprints... and can't add any more fish as well... as the PT and KT turned bullies whenever i add any fish... so yah... it's about time to hunt for some good tanks around... if still can't find then i guess i may have to build a brand new one.

SRC Member iskay Posted June 21, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted June 21, 2009 Perhaps, seal up one of your bedrooms water-tight. It'll be a heck of a tank. You'll have to dive in to maintain it...
