Nice one. This is exactly what I was after as Ive just got a REkord 70 and was wondering about how to increase the wattage/litre for plant growth!

Thanks

If your looking for even more power - do the same thing but with a compact floresent, High out put tube

we are looking at these for our marine 'conversion' and the 21" tube has an output of 55W if i remember correctly

you can see it in pic 4 and 5 of this thread lee. the extra tube is attached to reflectors. the reflectors are drilled as is the lid then the bolts pushed through there.

not sure what else your after?

 

[lee8040]

what size bolts did you use guys?

Hi Lee,
You will probably no be able to get the correct length of bolt, but as I said in my original post, you will have to cut them to length with a junior hacksaw.

i have used exactly the same products as big c has used, thing is instead of bolting it i have glued it to the lid using bostik super glue. i have noticed it has started to melt the lid. whys that obviously ive done no different to bigc?

anyone no why?

 

[BigC]

There must be chemical compound in the glue that reacts with that type of plastic, is all I can think of Lee. The same way as polystyrene cement (the type of glue used to stick models together with) burns/melts polystyrene.

Does anyone know where you can find Juwel Reflectors in Canada?, or reflectors of any sort?? I tried one of our biggest aquatic suppliers Big Als...and they didn't have any...and i havent seen any around, but i would love to conjure up one of these for my tanks
