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

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.

Hi Guys/Desi, IMO, water change serve as a very immediate and effective way of nutrient export. The frequency or % change really depends on the feeding regime of individual reef tank. Visual insp

Desi, I'm no expert with fish, but I hear that if you keep the Sg slightly lower, I.e. Hyposalinity, you can help them to reduce their stress. I dunno how true, but somehow it works for some. How abt

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 :mellow:

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......

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..

post-12571-1268405296_thumb.jpg post-12571-1268405308_thumb.jpg

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...

post-12571-1268405340_thumb.jpgpost-12571-1268405432_thumb.jpg

BUBBLES!! BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I COMMAND IT TO REMOVE THE SHIT OH YEE OVER DUE DELTEC SKIMMER!!! :upsidedown:

post-12571-1268405359_thumb.jpg

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.

post-12571-1268405478_thumb.jpg post-12571-1268405847_thumb.jpg

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

post-12571-1268405488_thumb.jpg

And to try to resolve my chiller / hear issue, I have moved it outside...

post-12571-1268405534_thumb.jpg

I hope everything will be OK... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eyebrow:

CHeers,

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

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..

This is one of the reasons why I appreciate a female reefer. They do not get squirmish and start making *insert high pitch noise here* at the sight of a worm, but instead, hunt it down and get rid of it. Good work, lady! ^_^

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 :)
