Ok, I need help from you guys. If you have any comments regarding choice of group buy products, please discuss it here.
http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=67536.
It will be hard for me to keep track of this groupbuy when there are posts that has nothing to do with THIS group buy. I don't want to make mistake on by losing count of orders or not including someone who wants to get in on this gb.
So please, if you have any question about THIS product, then go ahead and ask away! Or post if you want one. But if you have comments other then these plase post on thread I linked above. Thanks

seems like chris wants a direct order? oogie are we on our own?
ccjung
Oct 11 2005, 12:09 PM
I love this forum, as evidenced in my posting tenure here at nano-reef, but I felt a direct order could save oogie the headaches.
NR is awesome, but heres how I see nano-reef
How many NR's does it take to change a lightbulb?
1 to hold the bulb
1 to argue that the bulb has no par
1 to argue that he can get the bulb cheaper
1 to argue that there really isnt a bulb
1 to argue that he can build the bulb himself from a mason jar and pickle juice
Theres just too many opinions. I got these items as requested by oogie and TB at a great price, so i figured id just let them do it on their own.
Its a bit "un" group buy of it, but the spirit is still there, get stuff cheaper, pass the savings on to the reefers.
Hope this helps
Chris

I may be in on this. Would the fixture be sent directly to me or would it be sent to oogie and then to me? Would that increase my shipping price?

Good.. I am in then.. one more question.. how am I supposed to time the moonlight? Does it have a seperate plug?
ccjung
Oct 13 2005, 01:31 PM
The moonlights have thier own power supply.

Wait.. what kind of discount do we get for doing it groupbuy? Nanocustoms has this fixture for $35. Why don't I just buy it directly?
Reefgeek
Oct 13 2005, 05:01 PM
ccjung aka. "Chris" is Nanocustoms. The group buy is off because Chris lowered his price to match it. Just makes things easier that way. Thanks Chris!!!
ccjung
Oct 13 2005, 05:14 PM
yeah, the problem was there were 2 or three candidates for the group buy. Seeing the interest, and wanting to keep everyone happy (to some extent), I picked up the Coralife 18w and the Current USA 18w and offered them as low as I could.
Oogie has organized tons of group buys and this one is especially difficult because there are so many diffferent options.
Thanks

What are the options for replacement bulbs for these two lights? 18W bulbs see irritating to find and the Hellolights' page seems to be implying that the Coralife bulbs aren't standard pin outs.

e-mail Chris and see if he expects any more. He might also have one that doesn't show up in the web page. That's what happened to me w/ an ICA.

Odd, I used the site email feature and didn't get a response from him. Either he ignored me, missed it, or never got it.
oh well.
