    Do you have the Par meter? I'd like to borrow it. When can I stop by?

    I'd also like to get on the list. How well does this one handle LEDs? I know some of them don't measure LEDs well so people try to apply a manual adjustment to the PAR reading. It looks like some of the higher end ones handle the spectrum of LEDs just fine.

    Sorry - I've been busy the last couple weeks and let this slide. @sjones@sjones - you can come and get it this weekend if you like.

    Is there a bad time for you? I can't think of anything I couldn't work around.

    @Actuary@Actuary I am done with the par meter now I think. It does have a low battery indicator and when you turn it on you get an error 4 which is also low battery. I could not find a cr2320 in Marshalltown to replace it. Apogee's instructions say it should work fine with a low battery just might lose stored data. I am not sure if someone is the keeper of the meter that I should notify since I cannot find that size battery here.

    Could I get the meter for a couple of days? Setting up a new tank. 60 cube with 2 radion G3s, going to be easy to fry it.

    I am still waiting for @Actuary@Actuary to contact me but I see they may be having bigger problems now. I am not sure who is next on the list maybe they can come get it and get it moving again.

    @sjones@sjones - Anything happening with the par meter? Is it still at your place in Marshalltown? If so, maybe you and Terri @Sponge@Sponge could meet up before Thursday. Terri and I are getting together on Thursday and maybe she could bring it back down to me - then it would be closer for the next person to get.

    What do you think?
