WTB T5 reflectors - The "computer designed" ones


I bought some T5 computer designed reflectors probably 2 years back, and can't seem to find them again to buy more. Seems like everything I find are the Tek/Icecap versions that are designed differently. Supposedly the computer designed ones are shaped for the optimal reflecting surface to maximize light in the tank per watt output.

Mine are 3" wide vs most of the ones I've seen are the 2" ones with a lesser reflective rating. Anyone Know good place to find them? I also AM NOT going to pay more for a name-brand - Just want a good product at reasonable price.

Anyone have a "reasonable" source for them?

LMK

You never mentioned what length your looking for.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a place that carries these anymore. Having had both the Icecap and I believe the ones your thinking of, really isn't any significant benefit of one or the other. Cost is a little lower but that's about it.

Just go with the Icecaps if you can't find used.
