The parallel reflector is designed to mount parallel with the front of the tank using fluorescents. It is made with 95% reflective aluminium and will put about 25% more light into the tank than a standard flat sheet of reflective metal. The reflector puts the fluorescent close to the tank and the metal halides are offset by 3.5". The center (metal halide) portion of the reflector is parabolic to optimize light reflection. Two reflectors can be used to cover a 48" tank.
Please note that one socket assembly is required (sold separately).
Parallel reflector is pre-drilled for the following fluorescent socket: 24"—Holds either one 2` VHO or 55W PC on each side of reflector. Dimensions: 24"W x 12.25"D x 6.5"H
