Hi Friends
If you have read my thread on my new tank you'll know that I'm wanting to put 8x T5 tubes in the hood.
Although my tank is 600mm wide I only have just over 400mm of space to house my lights (due to the Euro bracing and C2C overflow). Some obstacles I have come across...
1. Could I use 2 tubes in 1 reflector as they are about 70mm wide to save space?
2. Thinking of using a piece of Perspex under the lights to form a "enclosure" and a small extractor fan to remove the heat out the side of the hood?
3. I can get "waterproof" T5 end caps for R45 ea, Good price? ( The ones with the screw on piece and seal)
All comment welcome.
Thanks
