Yes, that's why I changed it despite the swing in votes.

But I have seen a lot of people mount them Parallel too. Heck that's why I originally had them parallel.

Definately. I would have done the same if I bought your reflectors, because I currently use their 36" reflectors, which obviously go parallel, so I would have done the same.

So I guess everyone should double check with the manufacturer of their spider-type reflectors to make sure they are using them in the correct orientation.

Have you got a pic of your lighting and tank so I can see?

Well here's a pic without any adjustments on the camera:

I usually tone down the expostion to -1 or -2 for better contrast though.
