Need some help in an experiment: DATA Wanted nothing more

[firefish2020]

Im actually purchasing a light meter soon, so we can come over and measure it as soon as it comes in if you like.

I think that would be a good idea that way we can see how it really stacks up against other lighting.

<b>Ok back to data collection guys, more more more
Everyone will benefit from this research in the end. I would like to have it done by the 28th.</b>

If I list all 11 of my tanks here, it will take up a LOT of space. What do you guys say - should I go ahead and list them or PM them to Ron?
