Re: [APD] Re: ah supply reflectors

I think it is roof flashing and not sheathing. It is aluminum, fairly shiny, kinda stiff, which is good. I tried working with some of it for my last light fixture, but found I couldn't bend it accurately with no sheet metal tools. Someone else probably could do it okay though.

Hello everyone, thx for responding,

I was considering a DIY mini project with acutally just
putting the t5 fixtures + light tubes in a white PVC tube cut
into 1/ 2 and the inside taped with Aluminium tape (I've got
some lying around) vs purchasing a reflector. Which made me
re-consider the option of searching for a reflector saving
some $ and maybe buying another one of those t5 fixtures
(it's $35 CND for 39watt HO 6500K light + fixture... Pretty
cheap considering that it's aroudn $30 USD for the ahsupply
reflector, it's a 3' tank for 4' 54watt version it's the same
price $35 CND at my LFS)

Just gathering the facts and trying to get the best solution
for my tank

Thank-you
Raymond


Another option to consider is roof sheathing.  You can buy rolls of it
for under $10.  Cut it and fasten it into a parabolic shape.
