Vho Lights

I dont need reflectors for the URI super actinic bulbs right?

Correct. It does help to have a reflector though or at the least to paint the inside of your canopy flat white. You will get a little extra light into the tank that way. I did run mine original setup of 4x110w VHO over my 90g with the bulbs just laying on top of the tank, so it will work.

Sorry for the hijack...
I realize that the good bulbs have internal reflectors but has anyone ever tried to scale up a Icecap/Aqualux type reflector built to T12 scale?

We talked about it when the T5 reflectors first came out, but I think it was decided that the reflector would be too big to be effective.
