if i m nt wrong, last time some1 posted that, its nt gd to blow directly on ur mh bulb rite?

[Tanzy]

Looks like a PFO pendant.

It's OK to blow air at the bulb, it won't cool it down very much such that it drops below it's optimum temperature.

HI Calcium reef, you want to post an actual pix? the pix U have is a PFO product....the quality of your product?

[reefer guy]

no offense but the last time u post ur version of 'parabolic reflector' ended up with no result, we are all still waiting for ur 'computed' reflector and its outcome. at the same time, you might as well show the end result of your diy mh casing, the actual one not a look alike manufacturer's product....

thanks

I think the fan should be ###### instead of blowing at the bulb.

How u much actinic can u fit into that tiny box which is already the whole width of the spider. Will it be enough to offset the 250watt iwasakis?

My Spiderlight alone is bigger than your whole box, do you make bigger ones?

looks pretty neat

[CalciumReef]

Hi reefer_guy,its not that my parabolic reflectors end up with no result.Goldentooth has bought one from me and is working on it.I hope he will be able to post a pic of it in operation soon.As for the mh with artinic,i can say it will look pretty much the same.Regarding whether the artinics can offset the 250w saki,i will say NO.Considering to change to a BLV 10k SE now,however its much much more expensive.

[Ancelot]

but what thr price of this mh?

[Fireclown]

Ancelot... Switching to MH already?

[Ancelot]

yeah, still in amidst of deciding. my dad wanna sponsor me a little after he went to ML yesterday hahahaha

[CalciumReef]

I tink this design is not very suitable for small tanks,looking into DE bulbs now.De will be much much more compact compared to using spiderlight reflectors as the are huge!

[supersonic]

Got SISIR approved or not?

[hotsoup]

Hi calciumreef,

wat u use to mount the E27 or E40 to the reflector and casing? Just curious to know.thks

[CalciumReef]

Mount E40 or E27 by a piece of aluminium.Its very similar to a mogul,but it is not mounted on the reflector but on the casing.

[hotsoup]

Thks,any closed up pic to show the mounting part?
