Light meter

[tazman71]

Anyone in the area have a light meter I could borrow.
I picked up a couple of new pendants for the tank, and was wanting to take some measurements with the old and the new pendants, and different ballast combo.

I have ben really thinking about a par meter. hard to spend $340 bucks on one though.

 

[tazman71]

I am with you there. I didn't think I would have any luck, but doesn't hurt to try.
If anyone here has one, but is hesitant to lend it, I can put down cash as a gaurantee I will return.

It's just a thought, but maybe the club can entertain the idea of buying one. Paying club members could 'check' it out. One person can hold it for the club. Maybe, we can talk about it at the next meeting.

I second that Rob! I think 25 bucks for each member interested wouldn't be out of line. I think with the amount of people interested we could probably get A really nice one!

There is only one. The apogee par meter $335.00

Well, I talked with phil tonight and well the club really doesnt have the paypal $$ to buy one right now. We do have it in cash but it is a pretty big headache managing something like this. Liability ect.. A $335 piece of equipment. Do we ask people for a $300 deposit?
Well I dont think most people have $300 to just put down for a deposit for a couple days to use it.

Here is what I can offer. If anyone is interested let me know. I have offered to buy the unit out of my own $$. Then if someone wanted to do a test on their tank I would come over with the unit and do all the par readings I can take a picture and then plot all the readings and either send an email of the picture or print it out.

I figure something like this would be worth about $20. So if anyone would be interested in that let me know. I dont feel comfortable just handing over a $300+ piece of equipment of my own to anyone. So I would be doing the tests. If this sounds like something people would like to do. Let me know. I can take payments for this in cash or via paypal. And I will order the meter.Would like a list of at least 5 people or so prepaid before I order the meter.

I think most of you know me by now and know that I stand behind my word.

Thanks Much
Mojo~

your the man Jessie, definitely worth 20$

 

[LOVETHISHOBBY]

I'm in...

 

[mojo~]

By all means if anyone else would rather do this I would be more than happy to chip in $20 to have my par readings done.

So Robs In, thats one.Kevan?when I get the list i ll send paypal requests as I would like a deposit before ordering thanks Mojo~

count me in

 

[tazman71]

Count me in also. But I am a bit further drive. We can work something out.

 

[sliderbmb]

That sound like a good idea.

 

[mojo~]

yea man I would drive up there chad. Would like to see your stuff.
Ok all those interested pm me your paypal as I will take the $20 deposits to help cover the initial shock to my paypal. lol. If I get these this weekend I ll order it monday and we can start doing these right away. Anyone who does it and wants to do it again later to check it again we will work it out. Probably no charge for additional checks. as long as its not like every week. This will be kinda cool. I am looking forward to this.

This is the par meter in case anyone is wondering. IT is the one the BIG dogs use.. lol
