I have checked out Apollo before and I wasn't truly impressed about six months ago. Now might be a whole new story. I'll check them out.
Ok, checked them out.
I'm still looking at purchasing a Reefbreeders LED unit... either two photon 16's or one photon 32. They are reasonably priced units with an on board controller. I feel like they are worth it to try at least. For the money, it can't get much better.

And you see, I like manufacturer warranties. lol.
Even though they are importing these units (which I am aware of.) I am still giving my money to a hard working American, which makes me feel a little better about the deal. Plus, I feel like ordering from China is a little too risky for my taste.

Dude! reqires two - that's over $500, when one photon32 costs $430.... Plus it has an on board controller for dusk and dawn and other effects, whereas the Onyx does not. I'm just thinking about the features and the price,....

Plane tickets to Ft Lauderdale for us during spring break were $300 a person... plus $200 for the luggage because of course it had to be 7lbs over lol.
times 3 people that 900 + the 200 was 1100 for airfare
we got a premium car so that was $600 for the week (including some priceline negotiating... it woulda been more!)
hotel was $230 a night times 7 nights plus addt'l room charges it came out to 1650
food, we had $100-200 a night dinners * 7 = roughly 950
lunch, we had it a few times out, other times it was randomly assembled stuff from Publix, same with breakfast = roughly 500
total, excluding other expenses such as gas for the car and shopping, our stay in the area was $4,800 for the week for 3 people (4 for a part of the week, but she payed for a few lunches and her own airfare
The area is quite pricey. Luckily my mom payed! lol. however, I did a lot of the planning so thats how I know most of the prices.
with the prices you guys are assuming, either y'all are great at saving or need to bump up how much you guys think y'all are gonna spend!

However, if it's in August, I can propose the area again to my family for our summer trip. I know my sister and mom would approve!
This way I could visit while I'm there such as I did to siptang and novahobbies, except this time it would be visiting macna! or joining the swf dinner.
Rick is a VERY good planner. Just sayin'.

I used to be stationed there. I actually travel to the Little Rock area (Cabot) 2 or 3 times a year. I too will be there in June. I am going there on the 7th.
