@Fin how was the game?

@Fin how was the game?

Not bad. They won last night. Last week they were the sacrificial lamb against Oklahoma State and got pounded 55-14. McNeese is in a lower level (FCS - Football Championship Series) for smaller schools and they play these "money" games each year to help pay the bills. I have always disliked games like this, but they seem to be a necessary evil these days. Like Northwestern Louisiana learned at LSU last night (65-14). But, every now and then a miracle happens and the smaller schools win. I think the Citadel beat Georgia Tech yesterday. McNeese was within a minute of beating Nebraska 5-6 years ago. I enjoy the FCS because there is a real playoff system and not just someone picking the popular 4 best teams, like the FBS does.

I really enjoy an occasional high school game here only because I feed those kids all the time.

You guys that have done T5 and MH, what lighting schedule did you use?

T5 to start the sunrise (lets say about 7-8am) and MH kicks in around 10-11 am. MH goes off at around 6-7 pm and T5 stays on til 9-10p and then Moonlights kick in at 10p -6a. T5- Go super actinic 350-460nm and a Purple UV coral bulb

My high school is 1,600 miles away and I don't have any kids, so I really don't have any ties to the local schools. I really didn't go to McNeese St either, but I started dating a nursing student there when I returned from Cal in 1972. She got me going to the games and then I met a girl that worked for the athletic director there and she got us really cheap seats for years. I just kept going and 47 years later, I think I have missed maybe 5 home games in all that time. My house is even in the shadow of the stadium. :-)

Oh, guess who this is?

This is so stinking adorable!!! Awesome memory to capture!

I wasn't allowed to go to my HS games. Very strict father.

Black and gold... add white and gold and its Georgia tech colors too. “Up with the white and gold. down with the red and black.. Georgia tech is out for a victory” and of course... “if I had a daughter sir, I’d dress her in white and gold, put her on the campus to raise the ratio”. It’s actually to cheer the brave and bold, but my version is much better.

Same here. I was only allowed to go cause I was in marching band. And they kept a strict eye on where we were at all times.

A little heavy on whites. bring down about 10-15%

A little heavy on whites. bring down about 10-15%

Whites are at 42 on led and the t5 are running 2 10k and 2 antic. You are saying to turn the whites down to 25%.

How will that effect the tank.

Lights come on at 0800 full at 1230. T5 come on at 1500. Everything off at 2215. All times are in central time.

A couple of the leathers look like theyre leaning. they hate bright light

 

[sfin52]

They are leaning because the light just came on. The other is because it's sitting on the very edge of the rock. It got knocked over and attached that way.

Thanks the top one may be getting way to much since it has grown. It has more than tripped in size.

Any suggestions
