Chris,

If I remember the numbers right I believe that a proper parabolic reflector will increase the light going into the tank by 75% or something liek that. Troy started a thread on this board if I remember right where the numbers are stated. An optimal reflector at J&L is only $46 plus tax. or something like that.

I have a white painted hood and can't have a reflector due to the size of my lid. I will be putting a proper reflector in the 45 when it is up and running. I am positive that I am losing a huge amount of light due to my white hood. [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]
