I think it was $10 or $15 at Ikea. The reflector that's in there, is just some polished aluminum reflector. It's meant for fluorescents though and I had to use tin snips to make it fit and all that. Although I did try to bend it by hand to make it look like the curved ones you can buy. I guess it's not bad but of course it's still not as nice as the "real" ones.
The polished aluminum reflector came from .... I forget the name. Harvest Garden? Quick Grow? Something like that. The hydroponics store just a few blocks south on Edmonton Tr. from 16th Av NE.
You could also check out Bumper Crop. They have a pretty good selection of stuff. And they're good for things like replacement impellers, or impeller housings for mag drive pumps, and stuff like that.
Other than a source of DIY stuff though I'm not really sure you'll find too much in the way of reflectors that would fit over a tank. I keep picturing those big umbrella type reflectors at those stores ....
