    Hurricane Irene

    No at times like these the president makes speeches while on vacation and then surveys the damage afterwards. During the actual storm, I would be hunkered down in a bunker with my top men drinking my precious yuegnling. (No really you can come over and have some beer, it is not really mine...

    Twisteds pic update thread

    Your frag looks great. I think the exoexotic stunners are the way to go, they were actually made to be run along side other more powerful lights and not get washed out. I have a 24 inch Ice cap LED thingy if you want it, don't really see myself using it.

    Beer!

    We might be able to dent the beer with a hurricane party, we have plenty of ice to keep the beer cold. Was also at a wine/beer tasting last night, really enjoyed the Allagash White and Sessions lager, very good daily drinkers.

    LED Lighting

    The great thing about LEDs is that even if you need to replace them (unlikely) they are very cheap to replace (about 5-10 bucks a bulb). I know for the AI you just open the fixture and can pop the bulbs right in, they are not soldered into place. That is another quesiton to ask, if the...

    LED Lighting

    You are going to have to look at Aqua Illuminations or the Orphek. Why is everyone saying that? To penetrate down the 31 inches you are going to need at least 3w LEDs with 40 to 60 degree optics (probably 40) and those are the companies that sell them (you could probably look at the Maxspect...

    Beer!

    I was actually just making sure I got the spelling right, but yes I am a beer snob. Stone Stout is seasonal so you have to look during the right season. I have several liquor stores that are local that luckily carry it. Westy 12 (and a lot of other rare beers) can be found on ebay, you will...

    Hanna Instruments Marine Calcium Checker

    The last step is to add a powdered reagent and shake it up, if you don't wait long enough and there are any air bubbles it will give you an artificially high reading

    Hanna Instruments Marine Calcium Checker

    I did not calibrate them, I did not see any directions for calibration but I will check that tonight. We used RODI water when checking calcium, don't know if that makes a difference.
