best reflector for the money?

[RaeRae]

My tank is getting a lil older now and my sps are starting to grow towered my lights instead of up. I'm going to blame it on what I think are cheap reflectors. Do I really have to spend $110.00 x2 on reflectors. What do you have and how much did you pay? I don't know I if it matters but I have 2x 250 double ended bulbs.

no you dont need to spend that much. depending on whether you are looking for wide spread or depth of penetration i would advise going with lumenarc or lumenbright type of reflectors. either of these can be made for less than half of what you stated. plenty of threads here on how to do it. but getting a good reflector that matches your needs makes a big difference in lighting.
