Jim - enjoy your days of ESPN while you can. Wait til your honey is back, and you'll be watching all the gossip as I do

You need to put your foot down Terry. First gossip and reality TV, next thing you will know, she will be taking your tunzes away :sad2:

 

[tbone28]

LOL, I now watch the playoffs at midnight on those ESPN replays with my laptop in front of me surfing RC You gotta learn to keep everyone in the family happy

We posted at the same time - see above. I think life is about balance and knowing *when* to put your foot down

There was a big confusion when Elos started putting lines on their vials. I jsut wish they would go back to the vials wish no lines at all.

Very interesting. I wonder if there was any QC before they put these vials on the market.

 

[mpoletti]

That just sounds like a bunch a justification mumbo jumbo.

 

[tbone28]

guilty as charged - please put whip back in closet for future use :lmao:

 

[Jim_S]

Yeah, I don't see the vials being fixed...

Not sure why they were made like that, but I wouldn't imagine that they would try to correct the issue.

I think they would remove the lines before trying to actually make them accurate. Could be wrong though

I know some people run the helios in the 400 watt version over rdiaums.

Glad you like the helios Jim. I really liked the colors I got from my DE when I was running them.

IME, The helios are bighter than the XM'x though

Davey, If you got to sanjay's sight and put in the spectral plots for 400 watt radiums abd 400 watt helios, The radiums have a ppfd of 147 and the helios have a ppfd of 149.

I never look at 400 watter

FF puts that note on all there Helio bulbs whether 250 or 400, DE or SE. Seems misleading to me. Especially if people dont know any better

 

[Jim_S]

No offense to FF, and I've never purchased anything there, but I have hear they are not be be trusted 100% of the time....

 

[tbone28]

who's FF?

 

[Jim_S]

I'll PM you terry. i don't want to be "that guy".

 

[mpoletti]

Yep, its always better not to include names when putting people on blast in public. PM's work better

:lmao:

Nope. Shipping was actually delayed until today The good news is that its coming air freight (be here by Tuesday), and its a very small shipment (customs will be VERY quick), so I was told that I will have the skimmer in 1-1.5 weeks from Wednesday

I'm planning on driving down to meet Victor in person. Dude has really come through on this one. Getting this skimmer built and shipped out is above and beyond what can be expected from an importer. These may or may not even become a production model, so there had to be some serious work put in to make only 2 skimmers!!

My skimmer will come with an Eheim, but the med airstar should be shipped up as soon as its ready

 

[AJPACINO23]

Why is Jessica sooo fine............

 

[Jim_S]

Do a google search for images..... I'm still wiping the droop from my laptop :lol:

You should see my avatar on another reef forum I frequent.... Lets just say that they're a little less "family oriented" over there :lmao:

 

[AJPACINO23]

lol, your avatar is in my dreams

 

[Jim_S]

You should switch yours up to something a little more attractive Anthony

 

[AJPACINO23]

Homer is hot, I was thinking of Allison Stokke, seen her yet

 

[Jim_S]

Yeah, she's ridiculous!!

I don't know how many hot photos are floating around though....

 

[tbone28]

Jim - So you're gonna drive and meet up with Vic to meet him or to pick up your skimmer? :lmao: I need to check out this other forum you frequent for this other avatar. forum and handle pls
