DE Lumenarc, Lumenmax, lumenbrite??

[iceman66]

I am preparing to set up a 36"L x 24"W x 18"H tank. I am going to use a 39w T5 in front and back and want to use a 250w 14K phoenix DE bulb in the center. I have been debating which reflector to get. Since the depth of this tank is only 18", I know I will get some high par values in the hot spots, but I will be acclimating my sps to this. I'm interested in getting the best spread, but won't be able to hang this too high.

Any thoughts...

How about the lumen bright wide reflectors. They are designed to give a wider spread when hanging height is an issue.

What are the dimensions of that one?

 

[roshi719]

16" x 16" x 7"

Here is more info on them:

Isn't there only size for the DE version?

I am running Hamilton Cayman Sun 250 watt HQI reflectors.

It is a very good reflector - puts out a tremendous amount of light.

I would go with that one.
