polished aluminum sheets
 

Anybody know of a source for polished aluminum sheet?
I want to re-do the canopy for my 150g, and need a sheet for a reflector that is approx 18"x72".

You may consider the using of catering aluminium foil which you can easily purchased at superstore, safeway... or just borrow some from your wife at the kitchen.

check your local hydroponics store.

They carry highly relective polished reflector material on a roll. Sold by the foot usually.

what about a chunk of roof flashing from a hardware store?

Aluminium duct tape works well and available at all hardware stores

i tried that but it peeled off due to humidity

is there a brand resistant to water?

Maybe just a better brand, the stuff I used was sticky as hell, no way humidity will take it off.

what about Mylar, its a super reflective sheet of plastic, like wraping paper almost, could probably use contact cement or something. or else what about a mirror? I had an old nano cube before that I made a hood for an put a mirror inside, it was bright as hell

i am contemplating doin this myself with the tape or possibly mirrored plexy glass

i've used mirrored plexi and it worked well, also it was easy to clean the salt creep
