Hi,
I have come into posession of a 175 watt halide kit minus the reflector. My LFS wants 35.00 for a reflector. Thats seems like robery to me. Do you guys have any suggestions of where to get a cheap one or what materials I could get to build a reflector? My canopy measures 12" x 33". Any suggestions on size of reflector? I am totally clueless about this reflector deal.

$35 sounds pretty fair actually. You would spend about $20 just on the polished aluminum if you were to do it yourself... then you wouldnt be guaranteed to have the appropriate angles in the reflector either...

take a look at this for a comparison.... http://diyreef.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=75

Is that similar to what he is offering you?

This one is good if you only need the reflector...

Thanks...I haven't seen thier reflector, I just called about it. The dimensions he gave me over the phone are pretty close to the one you linked. I will prolly just buy that one.

Thanks a lot for taking time to link that!!

Thanks Jesse....Took your link and bought it along with a few other items to make shipping worth while. I have it installed and it fit and worked nicely.
