Re: [GSAS-Member] Some fish available

No, I was not referring to EMF, but instead the gamma emissions.  This 
information is confirmed by my RSO (Radiation Safety Officer) here at work, 
so I feel pretty confident about it.  I have a meter here at work and will 
take it home to measure my 2 four foot compact flourescents that I have on 
my 150G tank.
If need be, I'll bring them into work and have my RSO evaluate them as well.
