Test Subjects Needed

[Marc Daniels]

Hey gang-

I need some assistance from the club on a project.

I am looking for 6 volunteers to Beta test a new patent pending product that I am working on in conjunction with one of the companies in the industry. These are the requirements...
1) Must have an acrylic aquarium.
2) Must currently use an algae magnet, or be wiling to use one.
3) Be willing to sign a Confidentiality Agreement (CA).

I need the Beta test to include aquariums of various sizes. There is already one volunteer, so there will be seven total. These are the sizes that I need, and as long as you are close that would be fine.
1) Tank 300g+ (filled with volunteer)
2) Tank 180g+ (open)
3) Tank 100g+ (open)
4) Tank 50g+ (open)
5) Tank 20g+ (open)
6) Tank 5g+ (open)

The test will run for 2 months, with your feedback sent to me every two weeks by e-mail. In appreciation for your participation you will be allowed to keep the Beta prototype to use after the conclusion of the Beta test. When we finally come to market, you will also receive a free production kit.

If you are interested, please send an e-mail to me at info@nars.biz.
Thanks
Marc

[Marc Daniels]

Danny, cool. You can use the same rig for both tanks. Can you please send me an e-mail so I don't lose you.

Robert-
Got you in as well.

 

[Marc Daniels]

I'm up to seven people, so I don't need any more at this point.

Thanks everyone.

I am expecting additional raw materials on the 28th. I'll then put your kits together and make arangements to get them to you.

So I have confirmed;
Tim
Sarah
Donovan
Justin
Patrick
Robert
Danny

Sometime before the 28th, I need you to tell me what type of magnet you are currently using, and what the dimensions are of the internal component. This will allow me to custom build your rigs.

Thanks again.

Marc

Also, please make all communications through e-mail. This will help to document the testing period for patent/legal reasons. Again, I am at info@nars.biz

It looks like my order was split, and I don't know what components wil be arriving today. The remainder should be in the 4th. So, I won't know if I have enough stuff today to put the kits together until it arrives this afternoon.

Also...the kids and I all came down with that nasty chest cold that is going around. I sure don't want to pass it along. For planning purposes, I probably won't have your kits ready to go until next week. Wednesday, the 8th anytime after 11am I would be free to distribute the kits.

It looks like our Beta may be delayed...it seems I'm on the verge of pneumonia.

Also, all of my stock that came in wasn't what I ordered. I'm told there is a 2-3 week lead time on the product that I actually need. So as soon as it comes in I'll distribute the kits.

 

[Justin74]

Thanks for the update,although Im in no hurry whatsoever,just glad to be involved with your venture.First things first,take care of yourself man.Hope you get better soon,thats pretty serious stuff.

Justin-

Sucks being this sick, I just hope the kids stay well with me hacking germs all over the house. The stuff they sent was supposed to be PSA backed, and it wasn't. They now tell me that PSA backed in the size I need is a 2-3 weeks special order.

 

[yoshiod9]

thanks for the update, marc. get well, man.

 

[delusions]

Marc - How are the kits coming along?

 

[Marc Daniels]

Still waiting for my reorder to come in. I needed the material PSA backed and they sent non-PSA.

 

[Marc Daniels]

Finally, I got everything in today that I need to start putting the kits together. Give me a couple of days to get eveyrthing in order and I'll start contacting all of the participants.

Thanks again.
