BigAl's slow chronicle . . . - Page 13

I do agree to a point Scott. About cheaper Solaris though I am lookingi for simpler (not programmable) because I have a controller. I think if they can provide a quality unit that is simply ON/OFF/Lunar and can reduce the cost they would hit a MUCH larger market of consumers.

Yes quality = $$ but I am sure I can build/buy a quality T5 set-up for less than the $700+ price tag of the Current Outer Orbit unit. Wouldn't you agree to that statement?

It's officially THURSDAY and today is the day when my stand comes home and gets set up. SWEET! I can't wait (can you tell?).

Hey Al. Where is the pic of your stand in its new home?
We are all waiting with you.

I'm meeting him AT the house at 6:00pm this evening to carry it in and start assembling the unit. You can BET once I get it in I'll take some pictures and post them ASAP! It's all I can think about today

I have no doubt that you can build a good light. I thought we were talking about all-in-one lighting systems like the Solaris, Coralife Aqualights or Current lights etc.

I agree about the programability. If I knew a simpler Solaris model was coming out without the controller I would have waited because I have a Neptune Aquacontroller III. When I get my Solaris, the controller will almost not be needed. But, I'm impetuous and was floored when I saw this lighting system at MACNA! I'm not good at trade shows, I'm infact bad, very, very bad!

I'm still waiting for "verification" on this matter. The speaker last night was very knowledgeable but he could also have been mistaken.

Yeah I go CRAZY at trade shows. Luckily I don't go to many and DON'T take any currency to them.
