a coke & a smile fixes all Amp!
sad story when its someone close to u. hope the outlook improves.
sorry to hear abut your loss as well!

on the lighter side no pun intended<<<yeah right!lol
those LEDs are something, $2000 grand is abit expensive, but really, its a drop in the ocean to the money we spend. i worked it out last year that i have spent ball park figure about $15000 on the hobby already!, & since closing everthing down, selling off stuff,& a few expensive losses here & there, ive not much to show where that money went right now, except the pocket of knowledge inside my brain! thats worth something!

i think i will consider one of these lights for the next big tank. cut the alchole & the car mags out for 2 months and it would almost pay for itself...lol

fat walrus,

Thanks!

CarmieJo,

Thanks! I too believe our attitude effects our life in profound ways and if your are not aware or don't believe it, a negative attitude will lead you down a perilous road. It even leads to ill health.

veriann,

Thanks! I know $2000 is a lot for those LED light fixtures but, when you consider the 72" fixture will have a minimum of 100 LED lights (4 banks of 25 LEDs, Pat is talking about making mine 5 banks of 25) complete with computer control dimming and color temp, they are pretty advanced stuff. Plus cut our energy consumption by 40% and bulb replacement after ten years not ten months. They are pretty cool! Pun intended because they burn without heat.

Dick

Even within the same brand they sometimes don't fit. That is just stupid!

i had a banner made, i said to them, make walrus part of the club, they came back with a pic of me holding a club! old blubber was portrayed catapilla running with his extra charger!

i was thinking of sponsoring, its all about benifical exposure for the sponsor & paying for overheads on robs side!
if u guys were in australia, it would be a different story!
but business is business! it has to be a justerfied expense!

but Q try not to bring up my "its nothing comment" please, i didn't mean to sound like such a snob, cause im far from it, more towards a slob! lol
