    didnt care for the rectangular version, squared it off. the larges are 20", smalls 16", this version using two mh bulbs is 18". next is putting reflective material on top to finish it off. then ill re-rivet everything and run tests. also, im going to incorporate a cooling fan above the fixture to suck air out while still having the reflective material facing the bulbs. in doing this i can use a 20k and a 14k bulb at the same time without the use of actinics or T5.
