wait it's 9

stupid west coast time zone thingy. I'm going to bed it has been another nonproductive night for me. Because of nano-reef my grades are declining, my wife hates me, I'm broke, and now the west coast is 2 hours behind.

Haha I will post it 10 then to be fair to all of you.

How about now it's passed 10

That's some pretty crafty logic you've come up with... Current didn't charge by the watt when they first sold Sunpods, the 150w was only marginally more expensive than the 70, yet you've got it priced at less than half. The rule is "no used pricing". It doesn't matter if they don't make something anymore or not, we know what it cost new. Current making the mistake of discontinuing a good light shouldn't be a bend in the rules!

I see lots of stuff for sale for good prices, but aquarium stuff takes a huge hit in value once it gets wet. They're like cars! I'm sorry to be the jerk here, but the rules have been really fair up until this discontinued product thing, something better needs sorted out! $107 seems fair, although still a deal compared to a new sunpod. I bought my AC110 NEW for under $50 but because the prices have risen I've charged $75 to my budget. Too bad Hagen didn't discontinue a good filter like the AquaClear...

This is the last I'm going to say something about it, and I'm not going to withdraw from the contest or anything, I was setting up this tank anyways. Good luck everyone with your dirt cheap halides, I'll still be plugging along with my little 40 watter.

Thanks Maria for keeping your price at $107, that's a much better price point than a $ per watt.

Since fewskills posted and woke me up from my beauty sleep I need to input my two cents. When I calculated the $107 I was underpricing the Sunpods. To stay within the rules I had to. Now if you ask me I would just say 70w Sunpod = cheapest online 70w fixture. The same with the other discontinued lighting fixtures. Therefore anyone could potentially pay that price for their fixture.

Example:
discontinued 70w Sunpod/Oceanlight = 109.99 Fishneedit 70w pendant

discontinued 150w Sunpod = 139.99 Fishneedit 150w pendant
That way everyone can be on an equal playing ground.

But thats just how I would run things.

edit: WOW fishneedit is really a steal. They got cheap stuff.

sorry I just switched to 64 bit ubuntu, and photobucket isn't uploading, so my picasa is a temporary solution.

i have to pull out due to family emergency...sorry and good luck to everyone..

Heres our start photo....
also a couple questions.
If I'm getting a screw-in LED and I'm putting it into a lamp I already have to power it, its not particularly nice, and the bulb itself is $100, do I need to come up with a figure for the lamp?
questions 2 - whatsthe going rate for a koralina nano?

I got my Knano for $20, which I think is fair.
I do see people listing K1's as 20, which i don't know where they got it for that price...

Also, if the fixture isn't included, do I have to include my hood? They just have standard bulb sockets, the real price is the bulbs, @ $20.00 a pop.

Larger shot:

By asting, shot with NIKON D40 at 2009-11-15

I found K-nanos for $19.99 when I was planning on using them, I think that may have been on amazon. Do a google search and you'll find them.

Good look to all!!!!!!


Am I the only one from Texas in this contest? Or Austin area for that matter?

here is the required stuffz...



Good luck to all

ha if it wasn't for the shadow, I'd say that looks shopped (it obviously isn't, just the way the shot turned out).

While it sounds hollow for me to say I ain't that skilled (and that's sad) but I can get a signed, notarized affadavit from my wife stating that she got very pissed about having to take 20 pics of me before I was satisfied.
Get a ruling quick though as it's still sitting on my work bench with parts scattered all around it drying before putting it together tonight after church. (I thought I'd throw the church part in there to show my honesty and integrity, though it's true and I'm even an usher, but I don't wear the Versace's to church, unless I'm up front singing) Turns out they got a ruling from the Pope to keep me from singing

Jesus Loves You!


and now here coem the atheist to bash on my statement.
