Hey guys, im looking to get new reflectors for my tek light. I have just the normal one.

Just a bit confused, what is the better reflector???

OR

http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/sl-zt5rr48/Sunlight+Supply+48%22+T5+Fluorescent+Reflector.htm l

One says it has 9 bends while the other says 48 or something, Just a bit lost here, any input would be awesome.

Thanks a lot
Tony

Are the reflectors that come with the tec light not rated one of the best for t5 / price range?

Don't fix it if it isn't broken:)

They have alot of salt On them that I cannot get off and I think it is affecting par. So I would like to replace them.

Those reflectors will not fit on your tek light. Those are retro reflectors. They are 3" wide which will not fit. (The max is 2" per reflector for the tek light)You would have to buy replacement reflector for the tek, or buy ATI reflectors(sun power with bulb clips) which are 2" wide

Ok, i have this unit btw, http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/sl-t5tl4806/Sunlight+Supply+Tek+Light+6+Bulb+T5+Fixture+%2848+ Inch%2C+6x54W%29.html .

I can not see where it says what ones I would use.

Sorry I am still kind of new, never bought new bulbs or anything for this light.

Thanks for everyones help
