Nice work Fiminus, I think you have already answered this but where do you get your signs in the garage?

Great work, Phil. I love the classic FMINUS Divine shot!

Question for you....What is the TDS Monitor? Sorry if this is a noobie question.

If FMINUS doesn't mind me answering until he gets on, the TDS is a "total dissolved solids" meter. He's probably showing that the water he's using is very "pure", probably reverse osmosis or distilled water. A TDS of zero is quite low. RO water is usually around 5-10. Tap water is probably over 100.

Re: FMINUS Detailed: 2008 Mercedes C350 Sport Black

Again, not trying to speak for Phil, but I would go with 1000 watts.

I have this exact model.

Craftsman 1000 watt Tripod Light with Portable Stand - Model WL500DPT-S at Sears.com
