Some reflectors? I'll look into that. Any brands or suggestions?

I just changed from 390 watt pcs on my 75 to the nova extreme T5 ho 216 watt and i love it its way briter im keeping sps zoanthiads mushrooms rics and colt coral. Plus i got a giga clam today its 6" long and 5" wide every one says it will be fine but the Tek 5 lights are better they have a parabolic reflector for each blub so you use the power more efficiently. I wish i got one now but if you just want what i have softies and some easy sps its fine ill get a tek 5 later on though because im going all sps later.

Nice. Thanks Vash. I'd like to see how the clam turns out. Have you heard about the reflectors you can get for the Nova? Maybe we should get em.

Individual reflectors wont fit you would have to retro fit it and take the whole thing apart.

Dam, I knew there was a catch. I might just go ahead and try it.

I voted yes, but it will depend on the depth of the tank, the bulbs used, and any modifications to the reflector like installing individual reflectors.
