Default 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.
