I have a 72 gallon bowfront with 4x48'' t5 bulbs with a DIY reflectors. Would like to upgrade the reflectors so i can get more out of my lights. So what would be the best reflectors to get.
Would like to do MH but worried about the electric bill cost and the heat they put off.
Thanks,
Mike

The best reflectors out there are the ones that are simply polished to a mirror like finish. Then shaped to focus all of the light into the tank. Got of a pic of the ones you have? Perhaps you can simply polish them to boost their effectiveness.

Agree.....You'd be surprised how far a little Mother's aluminum polish and elbow grease goes.......Might take a little time, but might be worth the effort.
