R-3 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 So on my new 90 I decided that wanna go with 1 400w MH bulb (XM 20k). I should be able to do this using a "lumenarc" style reflector. My question is does anyone have expirience with these? I know Upscales has them in there setup over there acros and they work really well. I was wondering if I should get one that is enclosed like this. http://www.reefgeek.com/products/categories/lighting/104954.html Or One of the bare ones like this. http://www.reefgeek.com/products/categories/lighting/104928.html I know the one that is not encased is a lot bigger. I looked at one at Upscales that was in between the two. Has anyone done research on these? Thanks in advance. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Popeil Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i run a pair of lumenarc reflectors, and i really enjoy them. the one thing i should have done initially (and will do eventually) is get a glass plate to protect the reflectors from water splashing. i have a handful of water spots on my reflectors, and i dont like it, i assume eventually it will hinder the ability of the reflector. so either get the enclosed one, or try to enclose it yourself (the lumenarcs have a slot to slide in a glass plate).

R-3 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 I just ordered a Lumen Max 2. From what I have read on RC everyone is pleased with theirs. So we will see how it works!!! Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
