So one of the tubes has packed up on my hood.
The original tubes in the hood were 1x "AquaRed" (which gives a pinkish hue) and 1x "AquaWhite" (which is.. well, white ) Both are T5HO, 39W.
I've been looking on the lampspecs website for getting new tubes and I think I'll get the following;
1x Sylvania Grolux
1x Osram Lumilux 880
1x Osram Lumilux 840
Of the last 2 I shall see which looks best when they are fitted, and I've gone for the Grolux to try and maintain the red / blue light going into the tank with the hope it will make the reds & blues of my group of Cardinal Tetra really shine nicely.
What I am now looking for is a pair of reflectors to go with the tubes and I was wondering if anyone knew a decent place to get them. The ones I have currently 'clip' onto the tubes themselves, so I would need something similar, (the metal on the ones I have at the moment has corroded and lost it's shine, and the plastic clips that hold the reflector to the tube have perished from the heat.
Thanks for any pointers in the right direction!
