Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good reflector for my tank i'm needing to light a 60x18 area. Only want to have 2 lights over the tank so each will have to light a 30x18 area.

If your using halides I suggest lumenarc reflectors.

Yea i plan on using de 250w with electronic ballasts just having a little trouble finding a reflector. I'll definately take a look at the lumenarc see if i can find one that will serve my purpose.

I have them on my tank. I have the minis and they work very well. If you ever want to see them in person let me know.

Imo, I would go with single ended bulbs over DE bulbs. I would also use an HQI ballast or a good electronic ballast. I think you lose a lot of light to the UV guard on the DE fixtures. I know the SE bulbs also have a UV shield but it is easier to clean and not as thick.
The other reason I suggest SE bulbs is because you would have many more options for bulbs.
