CA2OR Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Re: The LED experiment After thinking about it I don't care about the par meter....besides it seems too "difficult" to get. Seen a few ask for it and nobody get it. I have a request out on R2R and NCRA for their club PAR meter... Until then I will just judge off growth like I have always done before.

jackaninny Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Did 1 person buy it or is it the clubs? Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk The clubs and I believe the board is waiting for the checkout process to be approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Re: The LED experiment I see....if they weren't $200 I would just buy one....seems a few of us have wanted to use one but cantt justify spending $200 or more for a one time or once in a while use Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 added my first tier of frag rack....I intend to add 2 more levels.....this will make for pictures a lot easier. Plus the frags are in permanant locations now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendaroo Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 So did you say you were running optics? If not, it will be hard to get good PAR in the lower half of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I don't think so....I have no chrome dome's if that's what you mean....I am working on getting a PAR meter to test and see.....but it is only a 14g so it is less than 10 inches deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
