Many thanks to bros/sis raydiative, desideria, comycus, AhSiang, Jackywongto, Binosage, Richie13 & MarcoVan for the encouraging words, :paiseh::blush: pls do offer your advise and tips liberally :bow: plenty to learn from all you seniors! :peace: the FTS from you guys are super nice man! :ooh:

can't agree more with bro Richie13,will probably be a good 1-2 months of cycling (will likely be doing bare bottom) :) and will be quite quiet during that time, and good time to save up too. hmm think I should be small sized enough to be in the tank and do some scrubbing if need be, :idea:

AhSiang : yeah, I see them using carpet when moving, maybe they could also use that to absorb the impact-prone areas too, and seems like quite a few bros here kana similar incidents with Sg Bros, this is the 4th time I'm having them helping, but the first time this thing happened. But no 1 wanted this to happen either and I'm just glad that they are willing to take full responsibility. :erm:

MacroVan,Law : the feeling does sux, but will take this extra time to read up and learn more too :peace:

not bout fitting, but read in forum that anything more than 12 mm for crystal glass it's gonna be a bomb :eyeblur:

gosh, wht happened? they replaced the tank for you as well? Leon told me they'll send it back before 30th April though,

yeah they somehow did. all i can say they are good, efficient and reponsible somehow.

heard you are a classmate of Wenjie.

thats good, then you should be around 85 too?

perhaps next time can chiong shipment together with wenjie and gang. so setup soon! but of course, please dun rush.

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.

Hi Bro Solo77, thanks for your encouraging words, I really like the creative freedom/space (though my living room space compromised :whistle ), I'm still very new and plenty to learn from you seniors! and saw ya FTS in ya thread last time and now, it's super zai! all the specs also super drooling!! not to mention your galactic-list of live stocks :shock::bow:

Hmm think we can look for more SIM ppl and form the un-official mini SIM Alumni SRC Chapter, haha :lol: , I wish I were in the big 3 uni though like bro menyan_neo & law, btw wht you guys majoring in? B)

CRAP! kana town council notice to remove the electrical wiring outside my house that is providing air bubbles to my live rocks #%@$%@$#

I'm actually quite ok to remove the thing until she said :

"as it is wire and electricity we're talking about, and firstly people may trip over the wire, secondly, wht if there's a cut in the wire and with the salt water it will cause major electrocution for passerby, then it's super scary and dangerous, so I cannot allow you to have the wires outside, if you need the air pump you can buy the battery operated type."

she said it with such gusto and horror..<_<:wacko: pray the tank will arrive soon.. :pinch:

and finally, i am able to put place the LR in my tank and clear the corridor of my 2 LR holding tub. during which I received a total of 2 "Service Notice" from my town council :angry2: and 1 visit from NEA :eyeblur: but end of it all, realized it was only 1 ex-tai tai, who's hubby is a RC member who lodged the complain.. <_< the rest of my neighbors were jolly nice and share my excitement and anxiety.
