I am looking to build an ATS for my tank and want to build a light box rather than use a typical cone shaped reflector for it. Any ideas where I might find something local that will have a mirror like finish that is flexable. I tried Hobby Lobby and they didn't have anything. I found a flexable mirror at Wal Mart that will probably work but the information said to make sure that it stays flat, which I am guessing is more for image correctness rather than structural stability. Just thought I'd ask since I am sure someone has come across something that would work.

Thanks,

Bob

Interesting idea with the flexible mirror, how thick was the one from walmart?

Pretty thin. Enough you could roll it if you wanted to, maybe .5-1mm as a rough guess as I dont recall seeing a listing on the package. Probably closer to the 1mm with the backing they had on it.
