jackywongto Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 actually I remember in my ex company one of the expat managers absolutely refused to go to india because EVERY single time he went despite all the precautions he take like drinking bottled water.. and EVEN brushing teeth with bottled WATER!, he kena diarrhea so he always ask his ka gia to go.... maybe your tum tum stronger la... Cheers Desi He is one of the few expat I guess. Those that I come across are very intrigue by India & their culture. Very keen to go.

SRC Member desideria Posted March 11, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 11, 2010 OH YES... a piece of news... FINALLY After 3 months of WAITING... my DELTEC skimmer and FR has FINALLY ARRIVED after braving the storms, shipping delays, pirates of the malaysia straits and dunno WHAT ELSE.. to get to the port of SINGAPORE! Luckily Germany no strike like greece otherwise I will be waiting even longer... I dunno whether to laugh or cry but I suppose like this liow la Keeping fingers crossed that the 2 hansum men from RB will be at my place on Friday late afternoon to install as per arranged pending no last minute changes. Only 1 thing left... my penductors from the states... RD still don't have stock of it... I wish I can kick their supplier...... Desi Quote Cheers, Desi Sheldon (TBBT): A little misunderstanding?

SRC Member desideria Posted March 12, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 12, 2010 FINALLY Here are pics of the DELTEC External skimmer which I have waited for AGES which is the TC2060 and the Phosphate reactor of FR509. Due to the inflexible way the outlet pipe was designed on the skimmer, RB had to make a wooden platform for it to stand on! SO HERE ARE PICS before installation.. AFter installation and running for 2 hours liow. The long white pipe u see being attached to the skimmer cup is actually a drainage system so that if it's full of water, i do not have to remove the cup but rather just unhook it and turn the black valve at the end into some collection pail or something to drain the skimmed fluid. Apparantly there is a self cleaning system available to buy if one is too lazy to remove the entire cup.. but the self cleaning system is about $1K!!! ... so errmm I think humans will do for now la... BUBBLES!! BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I COMMAND IT TO REMOVE THE SHIT OH YEE OVER DUE DELTEC SKIMMER!!! Here's how the whole area looks now without red pail being the pseudo auto top up reservoir. Not bad custom made glass auto top up reservoir.. darn heavy cover though!!! LOL Have to be careful. And of course the little Phosphate reactor churning away. The piping from the Skimmer back to my sump.. I had to cover the pipe with some sponge to prevent splashing.. will get a sock or a filter bag to cover the pipe in the future. Live with the sponge for now And to try to resolve my chiller / hear issue, I have moved it outside... I hope everything will be OK... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHeers, Desi.

Terryz_ Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sis/Bro, Use a chicken essence bottle and put a pc of small prawn inside... Put it near a rock so that the crab can climb near, once it is in the bottle, it is bye bye for them the next day when you see them..

Senior Reefer yikai Posted March 13, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted March 13, 2010 i use a drinking glass to do crab catching last time. i flood the base with henry;s food and rest it against liverock. i flooded mine an turned off wavemakers for 1 night so that the food doesnt float out of the glass. next morning i say 5 crabs inside. but they looked dead. probably from the decomposing food causing mini ammonia factory within the glass lol. killed them all. the crabs were treats for my wrasses the next morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
