Thinking of adding a coralvue 660 with two 24" T5 bulbs to supplement my LED Mitras 6200HV...its for a mixed reef with sps. Thinking of doing the ATI actinic and Blue Plus or Coral...Just need to figure out the best reflector to retro into my floating hood...
 
Most silver coated reflectors would be great. Silver coating works best as a reflector which is why it is used on mirror backings. Not sure where to buy but look for something in the 95% plus reflectivity. It is also better to get an individual reflector per light.

A 660 is not needed unless you plan to upgrade later.
A 430 is perfect for 2 lamps. But please beware that these drive lamps hard.
About 6 to 8 months out of lamps
If this is just for supplementing color then a standard reflector is perfect :-)
