no problem, just doing something for the members

**lEddyl** · 25th May 2007, 12:36

Altum_lover76: nope. not mine. Was curious how the air bubbles escape from the top

Simon: thanks

**richietay** · 25th May 2007, 13:00

Simon, thanks for the pictures

.
Isn't it nice to be less-overcrowding like in the pictures, imagine it is like when step foot onto the hall. Would like to drop-by to check on those gadgets. Seems like there are a number of new stuffs.

I spoke to the guy, he's Canadian. The product is a kind of gel which you applies to the paste-on background, it eliminates bubbles and air between the background and the glass, and unlike water, it stays and doesn't dries up. Most of his products were being held-up at customs, he practically have nothing to show. Hope his stuff gets through the customs today.

I guess the UV filtration is just to fill in the empty space, till he gets the rest of the stuff in.

Anyone took shots of that "air con chiller" ?

Have a look at booth 417 “Extra Bright Lighting & Electric Company”. This company makes excellent T5 and MH lights, look for the Nano Tank MH that comes in 75 and 150 watts.

www.solarmax.com.hk
Booth 417

What is good about this model is that it can be joined/ added together so that one could have 3 units in a sequence.

Note that the ballasts are external.

**Fei Miao** · 25th May 2007, 16:38

There's another interesting product, wireless tracks for power plugs, brand erno or something....
apparently not new according to my wife, this systems were widely used in kitchen cabinets in Australia, nice adaptation for Aquariums, think KF have shots of it.

wow! it is so new that they do not have it on their website, or maybe they are just too lazy to update ^_^

Nice MH set though, wondering whether it comes with Eballast or not.

Thanks for sharing!

Think it is an other technology which is used widely on those commercial lighting system. But definitely very convenient for us!

**taygu** · 25th May 2007, 19:07

nice precise and detail run thru.. Thanx !!!!!

**David Moses Heng** · 27th May 2007, 00:23

went down today. was a bit disappointed by the show.

Don't know whether is it me or what but i still prefer the 05 show. Any others felt the same way?

*Side track a bit. Saw one pretty girl at the living water booth. she was in bikinis giving out pamplets.

i'll second you on that
not a great show by any measure.

at the fish competition section, saw quite a few tanks of dis-colored and/or dead fish ==> not in good condition at all
but can;t be helped, especially not with tons of kids and aunties/uncles constantly tapping the glass and disturbing the fishes
the camera flashes all around didnt help either
some of the fishes were even wrongly labelled.

as for the marine and planted tank competitions... well considering the time frame they usually give for such competitions.. i wouldn't want to criticise too much.
just suffice to say that there were some pretty good entries...but the rest are not really that inspiring.

it was more interesting checking out the new gadgets and equipment
was certainly interested by the GEX booth.
hoping to see more of their stuffs in Spore to provide more choices
several other lighting booths were also quite interesting

was not particularly impressed by the lack of knowledge of the staff at some of the booths when posing questions to them
well...guess you can't expect too much also

also feel that some of the prices at certain booths are ehem... exhorbitantly overpriced.
i definitely can find the same things elsewhere much cheaper
anyone agree on this point?

I'll third that. Was hoping to see Tropica but guess they didnt turned up this year.
I'd still prefer '05 but come to think of it, its a 2yrs once exhibition and i really
enjoyed myself.

Hoping to see more stuff from GEX appearing locally, like the mini CO2....something interesting.
