For a DIY setup that can grow anything, you would probably need to buy at least 4 of these and some heat sinks to cover your entire tank. If you do not plan a "wall of rock", though, you can get more selective in the lighting and place the LEDs where you want have your rockwork. You can even select various optics to penetrate deeper into the water or to spread the light out more for shallow stuff. A strip or two of T5HO bulbs could provide you actinics and some uniformity light for less than going all actinics if you go this way. I'll PM you my cell should you desire to look deeper into this, but the initial costs would be steep (with savings in energy and lower heat and 7+ year bulb life in the long run).

Did you not go on to object to ETRC policy "on principle"? You aren't the first to question this recently, so can't the BOD explain the policy in response to this concern? You then made it clear that this is really about your situation, so why mention James earlier? Then, did you suggest that people are being rude by simply responding to your accusations rather than remaining silent? These are just questions.

All I did was answer your question and expound upon the reasoning behind the BOD's decision. Joel is right though, you can't expect to take pot shots at the way that the club is run and not expect a response of some sort.
I am sorry to hear about your wife's health issues. I hope that she makes a speedy recovery.
I (and I'm not trying to be rude) have no idea what you are trying to say with the last sentence.

and this is not my situatoin. It came to me from another now ex member and i didnt know what the big deal was plus from what a lot of members have told me the money that has benn taken in is just sitting there and yes i think i do have some say so cause i have paid dues since 2007 and that is the club money not yours or anyone elses we havent done nothing with the money at all we talked about buying stuff but never did we talked about buying one big coral and people didnt like that cause not everyone keeps the same corals. so please joel think before you respond and attacking me. If you think you get under my skin welll you dont. I have no problem with you or anyone else. all i was doing is asking a question. when questions isnt aloud in this club without paying dues then i really fell sorry for what it will become.

There are plans to do something with the club money. The problem, as you already stated, is that everyone can't agree on what that should be. I guess we need to get a collection of ideas and have everyone vote on what they think on the best idea is. But even that will become nightmarish as someone will undoubtedly get their feelings hurt because their idea wasn't the one chosen. So do you see the dillema?

Actually, we now have a very nice Apogee PAR meter We've also talked about a phosphate meter, but haven't settled on anything yet as a club. We just talked about the future use of club funds at the BOD meeting. This will be discussed at the March meeting with an eye towards the ETRC frag swap, and all members are encouraged to attend and give their input.
I've got nothing against you; the only time we've really talked was at the meeting at your place and we got along well and you and your wife were gracious hosts. I'm sorry if you took anything as an attack; just defending the club's policy and integrity.
You got me - low tolerance for passive aggressive behavior is a chink in my armor. :lol:Okay. ONE of us has thick skin...
