Reflectors for 180g (minis or standard)

[Jim Lepage]

Hi. I'm setuping a 180g (72x24x24) and wondering which reflectors to buy.

I would like to buy Lumenarc or Lumenbright reflectors but I don't know if I need minis or standard to cover the 24'' ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

you can do the mini's, just might have to mount them a few inches higher.

if your running 3 halides or halides with supplimental lighting then do the mini's

If your only gonna run 2 halides or not use supplimental lighting then do the full size ones.

I forgot to say I'll run three 175w SE MH plus four T5HO. I'm only keeping Softies and LPS.

I run lumenarc mini's on my 210. They give full coverage and allow a little bit extra room for my vho actinics!

If you want to run supplementals, you'll be happier with the minis on a 24" tank as it'll give you more mounting room.
