ok

I can get prebent reflectors here depending on requirments . let me know what type of bulb you are looking at and the length and I will see what I can come up with (it works out the same as buying the stuff and doing it your self except you get a profesional and good design.

Steve

Steve ... what would it run to get ( 2x ) 36"x15" reflectors to hold ( 2 ) MH and ( 2 ) VHO in each one

Cheers

hmm I would have to see what sizes I could put togeather.. are you putting 4 MH on your tank? also what kind of MH are you talking DE or SE bulbs.

Steve

Hehehe ... I " have " 4 MH on my tank :smile:

I have 2 canopies now that are DIY but could never find a good deal on spectral aluminium

The bulbs are 3 x 6500K sakis and 1 x 10K German ( not sure what DE or SE is ? )

Cheers

double ended or single ended but I know Iwasaki's are only SE. hehe..

basicly I have a guy that will sell me lighting reflectors at cost but they are for visualy lighting no fish tanks so I can mix and match to come up with something that will be close.

my reflector is about 20" wide and it is realy made up of 3 different reflectors.

Steve

Steve,

Im just looking for reflectors like the PFO size. I will build a new canopy to fit around them so whatever you can come up with is great. I use dual 250w Iwasakis. I don't want one big reflector though, two singles would be best. Any chance of getting me a third for a prop tank?

How much time in advance do you need? I could come down this weekend. I'd like to pick up a foxface.

well if you want a PFO type you might be better off going with a sheet of spectral aluminum..

here is a pic of what I can get.. remember it took 3 to make this.. the two on the outside are the same.

last time I looked into it it was 6.50 to 7.00/sq^ft to get it to the island.. a sheet is 4 foot x 10 foot. and you had to order 1 sheet min. I remember some one in cowtown looking into it for about 1/2 the price but we couldent conferm if it was the same stuff.


basicly I can do a 48" reflector for a single or a double floressent for about 20.00ish and the center one is a bit more. (it is good for a couple MH but it is 10" wide) and this is providing I can still get the "Good guy" price.

Steve

Yah, I like the PFO style better. 4x10' sheet is massive to buy though. You'd have to pre-sell a bunch.

Thanks for your input though.

PFO is good but far from the best. anyways whare in town are you going to get a fox face?
