Juwel Reflectors In A Trigon

[rjsmith]

I've got Juwel reflectors now for my Trigon 190. Which was round should they go - longer edge facing the light unit or the shorter edge next to the light unit? Is it the same for both tubes?

I've put mine with the short edge to the light fitting, i think that right.

long edge toward the front of the tank

Hmmm.....
Thanks for the replies. I happened to go into my lfs store as I needed something and asked them at the same time. They said long edge towards the middle (i.e. ballast).
Maybe time to borrow that light-meter I have at school to test both scenarios!

i thought they only fitted one way

Me too, I'll check mine when i get home, but i'm sure its short egde to the ballast.

You can get them in both ways. Slightly more difficult to get the long edge next to the ballast but maybe it makes more sense this way round?
