View Of Calciumreef's

Some view. Trial without actinic bulb.

One more.

Well, that's not so bad!

The spread is wider than I thought it was... compared to the first photo. Did you have to bend it out yourself or was it stiff at this position already?

Pardon me for pointing this out.. but I really think the bulb should be just RIGHT under the V mid-point (as close as you can get) for optimal light reflection.

As it is now, you can see that light beams will be hitting the bulb again rather than be directed back at the tank, note the leading edges.

Thx. Will rectify that.

would it be quite dangerous for the wires to be exposed like tt?

btw are ur single bulb MH comes with UV stop?(i know most would)

thinking of diying a 250W MH myself too as soon i got enough cash for a chiller .hehe

if got time care to help me out with the diy part?

thanks.

[reefer guy]

bro, the way i see it, he doesnt need uv glass --> its a se mh and usually its de bulbs that need it..... i just did my de mh, not really a diy but did a bit of rewiring to lessen the weight of my pendants....

[jazzben81]

i know most Se bulb comes with UV stop as stated in my previous posting.

i was wondering if his is special or wat.hehe

btw bro how much u do up the mh?

would the heat part damage the hood?(afraid tt i might 'burn' up my hood)

thanks

my god. that is a totally horribly out of angle spiderlight

[Golden Tooth]

[SpiderOne]

sorry . did u bend it yourself

doesnt even look symmetrical.. let alone geometrically correct. and it looks so different from the one calciumreef posted b4 your post

[reefer guy]

actually that's one thing that i kept thinking of.... if its precisely calculated as calciumreef has said, a bit of adjustment in angle would be a change in the amount of light reflected.....the light reflected would bounce totally different....

I think the "V" should be sharper thus reflect the lights out and not hitting the bulb.

The light reflection on the Golden tooth photo indicate that all the lights are hitting the bulb.

Compare the light reflection from Spiderone photo.
