    Like I said mix and match, they got to make do with what they have. By the way, when are we sending the stuff down. I recommend anytime after the 18th October, as the students are having their exams now and we will soon have to do our marking too. You will be hard pressed to get the teacher to meet us, that kind of includes me too

    Hi David,

    I got one set of surface skimmer lying somewhere in my storeroom, will give it up for the project as well (if I can find it).

    Cheers!

    Looks like everybody is getting excited now!

    David, I think it would be good for you to summarize into a list, who donates what. This way, we are able to keep track of what we have already gotten & what are still missing for the project. Just my 2 cents.

    Better do it while the fever is still on....
    Cheers,
    U.K.Lau

    Guys, thanks for all the stuffs but i am also in need of good committed instructors. if not, no matter much things i can collect for them, without good instructors, nothing can be done right?

    tentative date for the workshop is the saturday following 24th oct 07. 24th is the last day of the exam.

    Don't be discourage, David.

    I'm sure an average person who is able to start & maintain a tank for a year or two should be able to share their knowledge. Anyway, this is just a workshop to kick-off this healthy hobby among the youngsters. The rest is all dependant on themselves to learn more (eg: via AQ).

    I'm sure a lot of us started with zero knowledge before we found AQ & continue on with the hobby. At least, this is true for me .
    Cheers,
    U.K.Lau

    firstly, to role model for the students in areas of character, discipline, commitment. that's on top of teaching them how to set up and maintain a nice, balanced and functioable eco tank. lastly, illustrate to them how they can put to use what they learn in school to every day applocation even for hobbies. hence, i really need good, committed and knowledgable trainers not for me but for the welfare of the students.

    David,

    I think it'll be a good idea to state the length of commitment needed. It looks like something long term. There are those of us who can come in to conduct a lesson or two, but may not be able to visit often.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Vinz, i will leave this question to the teacher to answer. I have told him to register himself into his forum and he has already done so. Give him a couple of days and he will answer all revelant questions. his nick is imorginial.

    Peter, you don't mind me introducing you first right?

    Cheers!!

    Jeffrey, it means those boys/girls that are already giving trouble in school and may run the risk of breaking laws once they leave school. I believe this programme is to help them to stay off the streets and away from those bad influences.

    I got two big pails of lapis sand if someone can collect from my house.

    Must bring some container to store them, or at least 3 pails . Most importantly bring a trolley as they are heavy.

    bro, can hold the tank until the exam is over please? the boys are still having exam and the teacher is busy with external exam duties hence he cannot log on to post. As of now, i'm the offical contact since i am the thread starter. I sincerely seek your understanding with regards to the collection of the tanks.

    Regards.
