    Default Reflectors placement

    I'm putting on my retrofit PCs tomorrow and would like your opinion on it. I have these reflectors and am using 36" bulbs and this is the only way i could think to arrange them. Let me know what you think







    Im assuming its a good idea not to have the bulbs in the middle touching so i will be sure and seperate them when i put on the mounts. Any suggestions or problems yall see with it though?

    Also, if anyone has 4 more of these clips i am looking for some. Thanks in advance

    Also, does anyone place anything between their bulbs and the water? I know dealers say you are supposed to but the tanks ive seen rarely do

    The only bulbs that require a shield are the double ended metal halide bulbs. The shield is for UV protection. Just make sure that the sockets are protected against splashes.
