I am doing a DIY hybrid light system, and not sure about the reflector.
The specifics:
This will be a 48" fixture with:
Two Kessil A360's, and a 48" LET light T-5 Retro Kit.
I have already cut the material, and it is bright white on one side, and mirror polished aluminum on the other. The dilemma is, which side is the most beneficial? I feel like the white is more diffuse light, but I also feel like there is no better reflector than a mirror.
The Kessil lights don't really need a reflector, and the T-5's come with a polished reflector for each bulb, so this will be for bouncing light back into the tank that has already reflected off of the surface of the water.
Thoughts?
