reflectors for MH lighting
gotta pick up some reflectors for two 400 10K MH bulbs in the city when i'm up this weekend, what's a good place to look and what should i expect to pay?
|
I MO'd mine. MO prices are about $75-80 that includes the socket. The Reef Optix by Sunlight Supply are pretty good (those are the ones in my 72g), got them from SWC.
|
was thinking that a hydroponics shop might have them? otherwise i'll put in an order with jayson, since i already need to get some other stuff from him.
|
bump :D trying to get some more feedback here...

same i am getting my metal halide set up on monday
hey tony hopw much and where did you get that bucket from |
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 .... :) |
well just found a way to save money on my calc reactor, so i think i'll splurge and order from SWC.
check out the new signature! pretty witty eh :D oooo and 100 posts! |
