Chipping in for a PAR meter

[fkshiu]

So far we have eight people:

fkshiu
TomR
Chin_Lee
Marlin65
Veng68
Seahorse_Fanatic
skylord
Jason_McK

That's around $40/person as it stands. I guess I'll do the organizing and would actually pay for the thing to begin with since I started this. I agree that it should be available to anyone who paid for it and that it can be rented out for a small fee to others. Having the Reef Network administer its use (and safe storage) is a good idea too.

I'll leave this open for another few days and then do a survey for solid commitments (a.k.a. $).

UPDATE:

I've been attempting to obtain the old group buy price (US$140, I believe) from Apogee and am awaiting a response from them.

Stay tuned.

OK, the latest news from Apogee is that they have discontinued the QMSS-E and are replacing it with a new model (MQ200):

As you can see it looks pretty cool and can store data points over time. As you can also see the list price is US$349, but they said that we can have one for US$249 if we order before the end of the year.

I've sent everyone who has expressed an interest a PM. Anyone else want to have all their lighting questions and arguments settled?
