Looking at 250 DE MH reflectors

Chyendra · 08/16/2011, 05:29 PM

I want to upgrade my current reflector to get more boost out of my current bulb and ballast. This is for my 24"x24"x18" cube, and I want to keep acros/ other SPS.

This is the reflector I'm currently using http://www.hellolights.com/250whlmhretrofitkithqi.aspx

I want a non-parabolic reflector, but the problem is that my canopy is only 9.5" tall. So the reflector needs to be 12"x12"x5" or less in order to have workable space in the canopy.

The two reflectors that I've found so far are these:
Hamilton Cayman Sun Reflector - http://www.marinedepot.com/Hamilton_...MHPDDE-vi.html

Lumen Max 3 HQI Metal Halide Pendant by Sunlight Supply - http://www.aquacave.com/lumen-max-3-...pply-1139.html

are there any others that are 12"x12"x4" or smaller? Which is the best?

Thanks!

A hamilton reefstar will be perfect for you...I have 3 over my 175. They are only 5" tall and spread very well.
