Hello,

I am setting up a group buy through one of my friends who lives very close to Pacfic Garden Supply in California. We will be saving a lot of money on these reflectors. I live on Northern Alberta and this is where they will be shipped, however I am in Edmonton quite often and would be willing to arrange pickup/dropoff's. Right now we're looking at around $123 USD + shipping for the Reflector & Mogul, this price will drop if we get more orders.

For more info on the Lumenarc III's:
Dimensions: 19.5"x19.5"x9.5" (and about another 6.5" in the direction the mogul inserts, usually out the back)

or just search Reef Central for Lumenarc. These are the best SE MH reflectors available.

Email me at psyire@telus.net for more info.

These are probably the best reflectors you can get for Mogul bulbs from what I've read. If I weren't a DE kinda guy, I'd be all over this :mrgreen:

Deadline is April 1st. But we are flexible, if this dosen't work for you perhaps we can work something else out.

I haven't really posted much here before but I have done a fair bit of lurking. To post a group buy out of no where might have a few of you thinking 'that's strange'. So instead of rehashing a bunch of stuff I have already talked about on Reef Central here is a link as further insight into who I am and what I'm doing.

Deal Closed

Thanks for the interest but we've hit 40 reflectors and that is all we'll handle.

it's been awhile and I am sure most who have bought these reflectors are enjoying them now. Let's see some photos and reviews on this stuff. :biggrin:

What wattage are most running with these reflectors?

You bet, I've got mine up and running. I'm super impressed and I haven't seen anything that beats them watt for watt. Here's a bunch of pictures.

Please keep in mind my aquarium is still pretty much a work in progress but it's coming along nicely.

Looking good! :biggrin: What are the dimensions of your reflectors? How many inches does the socket thingee stick out from the the actual reflector? I am contemplating on the Lumenarc Mini with 400w bulbs. It's only 14.5x 14.5". What kelvin bulbs are you running?

Thanks!

19.5" x 19.5"

Moguls stick out around 4.5" from the edge.

Bulbs are 10K on the outside and 14K on the inside. I plan to switch this to exactly the opposite and see how that is, but I'll probably end up running 3x 14K I have a feeling.
