Back going to break after moving those weights (my house in non-lift level and 2 floors down) these few days. Next things to do is to hang up the MH lights (after delivery of blue MH from Glare). The holes and cable are already up. Need to run a separate point from the main circuit board.

weileong Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 I stay in the east, Haig Road. Should have ask you to help carry all the LR, sand and salt hor? Livesand I bought from Maxima. Lots of snails in it. Those that barrow into the sandbed. I moved them to my 100litres tank for the time being so they won't die during cycling. No problem with the cycling, time to take a break. I hate those bristle worms, got stink by the bristle, gotta pull them out one by one under bright light.
