    Painted reflector

    Matte white is actually a better reflector than polished aluminium. With that in mind I bet it wouldn't be too hard to find a white tape - otherwise this aluminium one might not be that bad. Does it rust or anything? Cheers.

    Painted reflector

    What is a good kind of paint to use to paint the inside of a hood - seriously what are manufacturers thinking leaving that black! Would like something that; 1. is waterproof 2. will not crack/brown 3. and which is non-toxic. Cheers!

    2x13w T5 enough for low-tech 180 litre?

    Thanks for all the replies. There was a tank I had my eye on with that particular light set-up. Is retrotiffing a canopy relatively straightforward? I have never done so in the UK - might go LED's just for coolness factor and electricity in that case. Cheers!

Then hurry up and get some lighting, or your plants are going to start dying in about a week to ten days. Good luck!

    How to deal with Over-lighting 2x55w PC on 60L (=5.5 w/g!)

    Here is a PM exchange between me and Simon D. Hope you find it interesting. If you have anything to add I would be glad to hear it. Cheers. Me: Hi Simon, I noticed in a post that you had 2x55W Power Compacts over a 60ltr planted tank. I have done the same and I am worried that I have gone...
