I've read that by adding reflectors to your flourscent bulbs, it will make the intensity stronger. How does this work ?
thank you again for taking your time to read my post. I greatly apprecieate it.
You can purchase reflective material for you lighting fixtures that does intensify or direct more light into the tank. They usually come in specific sizes to fit 24"-48" fixtures. There are cheaper alternatives. Also, flourescent bulbs are offered with 360 degree output or with a reflector inside the bulb(these costing a few more bucks).
would the reflectors subsitute / or do a similar job equal to MH or VHO/PCs?
I know many have recommended to me that I should use MH , vho or PCs but I'm trying to stay in a line with flourscent lights.
Vince, VHO and PC's are basically florescent lights, but more intense than your standard normal output of standard florescents.
Also, links, except to your own personal webpage, are not allowed on this BB.
sorry Beth, my apologies.
You stated that VHO, PCs are basically flourscent lights?
so do they come in "bulbs"? I mean, can I just purchase the bubls and replace them with whatever I have right now?
or do I have to buy an entire new set of lightings for my hood?
thanks again, and I apologize for so many questions.
