    I just scored these today. They are LumenMax Elites. They are supposed to be the top dog in the business as far as reflectors go but we'll see. I should have these mounted in a couple of days. i'm going to do away with my canopy and just suspend these.

    Any chance we can get a full tank shot with one of these hooked up and one of your old ones? I would love to see if they actually make tank brighter and have more shimmer.

    I'll take a couple after I get them up. I have a few fts already. I may put them up tonight. I just gotta find some ceiling hooks.

    ok, I got these mounted earlier this evening and I will say that there's a huge difference. One difference that I see right now is the quality of the light. It seems that the light is very evenly distributed over my tank and there aren't any shadows it seems like. The tank looks brighter too. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. Honestly you will have to see this to believe it.

    Nice score!

    I need to find a pair of those at a discounted price as well. or at least upgrade to spider reflectors. Anything would be an upgrade from my horribly crappy MH reflector that probably wastes as much light as it puts in the tank. LOL.

    What are either of you guys doing with your old reflectors?
