Reflectors

[jl1199]

What are some good reflectors besides lumanarc that would work for my 31" deep tank?

Thanks

Lumenarcs test quite a bit better than anything else, why don't you want to use them?

I just wanted to see what was out there.

there is nothing better right now for penetration on that depth than the lumenarcs

I am looking to make some reflectors for 48" actinic bulbs and was told that solar light stripping was a good material to use. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any. Any ideas on this? Any help greatly appreciated.

They're not that expensive, and the location of the bulb is very important in the efficiency of the reflector. I think this is the place that makes them: http://www.reefexotics.com/

I also think he usually will discount for packages that include ballasts, and it's a really good deal.
