I just want enough for a spyder style reflector.. I figured a 2x1 would do it.. What do you guys think? It has to fit in the hood for a standard 50 gal.

ok I called to order today and found out he can no longer get this "everbright" but he called me back and said he can get "spectral aluminum" which is pcv coated. the only problem is this stuff is 6.50/sq ft with 4 or less sheets bought and if we can get 5 sheets it would drop to 4.87/sq ft. I checked into this "everbright" and it has no coating whare the spectral aluminum is suposed to have a pcv coating to prevent corosion.

anyways let me know what you all think as this doubles the price.

Steve.. PCV or PVC coating??

I wonder if it is a plastic type coating, if it would get too hot for it with MH temperatures?

I will check with some of my sheet metal shop buddies and see if there are any alternatives out there.. maybe light gauge polished stainless. Won't be able to find out till monday tho..

Steve if you can get it in time for the meeting, great. If not, I'll still take a piece, but then I'd have to ask that you hang onto it for me until either the next meeting, or perhaps when someone else from the Island is heading over?

I'm good for it, it'll just be a matter of when we can make arrangements to get it here somehow? I also don't mind mailing you a cheque for the materials, that way you know you're not stuck with the piece.
