Are there individual reflectors for the Nova Extreme...(not the Nova extreme pro) .....if not, does anyone have any ideas on a way to reflect more light or boost output.....it's the 4 x 54 48inch nova extreme.

The new Aquactinics reflectors might fit. I know they're more narrow than others.

No they do not the pro does not either.
The only idea I can come up with is to upgrade.. Not being smart Alic just thats all I can think of that would truly be beneficial.

Aquactinics reflectors are only 2" wide. Not sure if that will work or not. They could be squeezed in a hair or so to make them slightly less than 2 inch's but not much..
I think the width on the reg nova is alittle over 1¼.

i bought a set for my nova extreme and bent them and they were a major improvement over big single but not worth doing unless you have the fixture already or get it pretty cheap. i am pretty sure the pro comes with individual reflectors and thats why it has 6 bulbs not 8 so they can use some of the same parts already made for the eight bulb fixtures (i am guessing on using the 8 bulb fixtures parts many companies do this for cost purposes)

The Pro doesn't have true individually reflectors, it's 1 whole piece contoured into reflectors for each bulb. I have the 48" pro and really like it, so far everything is doing great in my tank.

They do not have indavidual reflectors but parabolic reflectors.
