try Andrew,he might haveDoes anyone know where I can get reflectors that are 50mm wide, for my 54w T5 tubes.
you shouldve collected from a deserted beach on low tide from a rock pool.but anyways it will come to liveWell I managed to fill my DSB today. Was going to use playsand but took a drive along the coast and found me some really fine sea sand, finer than sugar, actually like salt. Unfortunately it was dry , but then again if I had used playsand, it would have been the same problem? This way it was finer than playsand and best of all - CHEAPER. Filled it up to the 15-16cm mark in my sump and put some broken pieces of LR from my other tank on top to seed it.

i collected mines in margate and found it to be pretty fine.The wet sand was very coarse, so I thought it would be better to use the fine stuff and and let it mature ? can always add some more "live" sand.
was supposed to have been in november 2007thanks Mekaeel, really appreciate it, will take you up on it one day soon. So when's the big move?
hmm when i had my 8x ATI tubes on my old tank i used reflectors that houses 2 tubes. Not sure if they were 50mm... Otherwise another guess might be to go directly to a supplier, or ask reefinmates, they do custom made light units, they might be able to helo you out!
Nice work btw! Also looking forward to more!!!! Where about in durban are you?
