    I would like to get added to the list for the PAR meter. I'm planning to add optics to my LED fixture and want to get before and after readings. So does Chris (Fence) have it now? Justin - are you planning to use it next? I wasn't sure if you had a chance to use it yet - or if you had already used it and it was going back to you as the trustee.

    Are you finished with it?


    Where do you work/live? If Justing can't get it soon, maybe we could transfer it to me.

    Sorry for the delay. I am finished with it and have plans to meet up with Justin tomorrow; however, if that doesn't work I'll let you know.

    Hey Justin - did you get the PAR meter over the weekend? How soon do you think you will be done with it and when can I get it?

    Jeanette has the PAR meter right now. I apologize as I think I dropped the ball here. If you give me your contact info I can get you in touch with Jeanette or you can just PM her.

    I had some stuff come up this week and won't be able to use it until early next week. If you're free to use it now you can talk to Jeanette (beckerj3) and get it, then I'll jump back in line after you. Otherwise I'll pick it up early next week and hand it off somewhere around the 6th of December.

    Let me know if you want to make arrangements to borrow the par meter this week.

    Goodgrief used the par meter last week and returned it on Saturday. So I have it back again for the next person in line.


    Kgehrke - that's you again. Let me know if you want to stop by and pick it up.

    Haven't heard from Justin on this, so I will assume that Hart is next in line.


    I need to go to Hart's house to pick up a tank and will take the par meter to him - hopefully today, if schedules work out.


    We like to have the par meter returned to the trustee or an officer, before passing it on to the next person. However, since Nick will be an officer next year and he is next in line, I think that it works that when Hart is finished with it, he can make arrangements to get it to Nick.

    I am done with it. Am I suppose to take it somewhere then? FYI I played around with the optics on my reefbreeder value fixtures and am pretty happy now. 3 units had too much variability with all 90 optics. Here is my build thread on reef2reef with a PAR map.

    Hart - Normally the PAR meter is returned to the trustee. But since our trustee, Justin, lives in Ames, we have been keeping it with another Board member in the Des Moines area. Nick Ball (Nik) is the 2015 Secretary. He also is the next person in line to use the PAR meter. Why don't you make arrangements to meet up with him for the exchange?
