M/H'S in plastic canopy

krmpotic · 10/19/2007, 07:51 PM

I need some more advice on installing 2 175 m/h's in a 72 bow tank's plastic canopy.The canopy came with 2 plastic lids i removed and built a 1/2 inch wood lid to support my halides.I also installed 2 100cfm fans on the canopy(1 on each side)i have 1 halide setup already.I looked at hellolights and was thinking of purchasing 2 parabolic reflectors with mogul sockets.Has anyone out there ever put halides in this type of canopy.What type of reflectors were used and is this wattage small enough without having to worry about any melting issues.Any advice would help me decide on the proper setup.thanks
