If anyone orders from ReefLEDLights, I just spoke with Bill and he gave me the discount code REEF2REEF to use for your ordering. They just recently lowered their pricing, so this is an additional 5% off of the lowered prices.

Has anyone checked out cutter? Its like 5 something an led. And they sell your drivers and such too. By far the best price I have seen. 5% on 5 bucks per led isn't much to talk about. Cutter gives free shipping over $100. They sell the drivers and everything.

well nm, they must have upped their prices recently because they are around the $6-7 mark and i cant find the XPGs on a 20mm star. They did send me their wholesale prices though.... maybe i should check in with them and see if those have changed as well.

Seriously, I was on cutters site today. Had to restrain for a moment. I was wondering were you were getting the XPGs from? You answered my question though.

yeah, its been a couple months since i been on their site, but heck i did a group buy and got them for just over 4 bucks, and the wholesale price was around 4 also, and now i go on there you can only get them on the smallest pcb, not the 20mm normal sized one, and they are around 6-7.... i dont get what the deal is. So i'll have to check my wholesale price list again to see whats going on.

for a $10 premium subscription you can use the club's par meter as much as you like. cheaper than buying one

, speaking of which...sure is boring waiting for it though. I'll be happy to see if I can pick it up about oh say...the next meeting.

i have one that you hook to a multimeter you can borrow. Its the sensor. You connect it, read the miliVolts and multiply it by 5 and thats your PAR

NP, just bring it back within a couple weeks, remember, i live up north in sidney. Though it would be a good chance for you to see my tank. Or i'm sure we could arrange something to where i can pick it up as i work in dayton sun-thurs and i get off at 3

Yeah, I'm just a stones throw away Mon-Fri in area B. I live three minutes away from the museum, so maybe this Sunday? We could always go grab a beer after your done at work?
I will see your tank soon however, just waiting on the green jump light. I'll try not to fall through your ceiling...promise

Not too sure about the ones who do fall, but personally I've got over a 72" arm span. Think I got this
