PAR meter

give it up guys, just buy one if you want to use one. Unless you have a friend who has one. Or a LFS that can test, but the club meter...joke. This is a great club and the forums are maintained very well but the par meter situation is lacking. I would pay to rent it and that's just not going to happen, i've tried with many Pm's.
I believed the joke. I think that would be a great idea. Seems like a waste of money to buy for just yourself. Just make the people who borrow it sign a contract to replace it if not returned...or rent as suggested. BTW, my father and I would like to test our tanks (he just installed some LED strips). I will contact Tim.
I've been on that (those) list(s) as well. In fact, I've upgraded twice, left the hobby, came back and upgraded once more and still on the list......
I do remember the board, back several presidents ago, voting to pay (what I thought was an exorbitant amount) to have one of the two PAR meters calibrated.
Can we put it to a vote on how best to handle this? Every club member could benefit from knowing their PAR levels, so may I suggest;
Instead of renting it out to one person and waiting for it to be returned or passed forward to the next member, perhaps a member could volunteer (I for one) to rent it for a weekend, and test not just my tank, but any other member's tanks I could coordinate with (within reasonable driving distance of course). Perhaps members could pay the visiting member a little gas money for driving to them.

In any event, having one member handing off the PAR meter to the next member on the list is NOT a good way to circulate the PAR meter.</em></u>
Just .02 cents from a long standing member...
