First post on RH Fish Tank blog!
Since the RH Fish Tank website is yet to be set up (due to the impending exams for others, and the lack of creative talent on Daniel's part) this Blog shall suffice for updates of the RH Fish Tank for now...
29 October 2004 (Fryday)
2pm: The cabinet was finally affixed with a set of locks, top quality workmanship courtesy of Mr Carson Goh (Blk 2 RF). Thankfully no equipment was stolen/permanently borrowed during the duration of lock-absence.
...just a brief recap from inception to today...
Sometime in September
The idea of the RH Fish Tank seeded during tea time somewhere in September by Daniel, Daniel Kwok...
14 October 2004 (Thursday)
2am: RH Fish Tank proposal sent to JCRC for approval... this is when the whole thing officially started.
22 October 2004 (Fryday)
7pm: RH Fish Tank was bought second-hand and transported from Bedok North by four Raffles Hall residents: Clare Kwan, Kok Tiong, Cheng Yewkam, and Daniel, Daniel Kwok. After an extensive 2hr cleanup of the tank and its accompanying cabinet, 40kg of gravel was added in and the tank was officially set in its place. Why put in the gravel immediately, you might ask... we were afraid of theft, thus decided 40kg of sand was not worth the effort to steal the tank.
10pm: The accompanying equipment was cleaned and sterilised, and the accompanying fish and plants were made comfortable by Daniel in his room, ready for the day they would be reinstated into the tank. Cleaning/Washing ended at 2am that night.
25 October 2004 (Monday)
6pm: RH Fish Tank first filled with water. Kok Tiong and Daniel filled the tank half-full with water, then set up the equipment: the filter and CO2 mechanisms. Next to enter the tank were the plants. Planning had been done over the weekend as to the positioning of the plants and we set out to create as aesthetic a scape as we could, the result of which you see today (30 Oct 2004). After the plants were in place, we filled the tank full with water. It was 9pm when we were done.
26 October 2004 (Tuesday)
1pm: RH was to have a formal dinner that night, and the tank would not be populated with fish yet...? As RH Fish Tank caretaker, the possibility of putting in the fishes was not even considered because the fishes would probably die within a few days as a result of the unsettled water (a new fish tank has to be cycled/conditioned for at least a week before the introduction of fishes). Thus only the lights were set up to illuminate the tank for a no-fish display that night.
