Let me ask you guys a question... I always read a lot about individual reflectors & have always wondered if they are really "a must have" when selecting a fixture, I am sure they are best, but the reason I ask, is the RSM 250 tanks don't have them - the RSM 250 (65 gallon Dimensions (LxWxH) (38 x 21 x 26.2”)
They just have 6 x 39W T5s with one huge reflector - not at all arguing the individual reflectors are best and 1st choice - just thinking there sure are lots of pretty RSM 250's with thriving sps corals & clams - and could be an option that might still work for some...
one example... running ATI bulbs
+1 for quality & not cheap stuff... just thinking there may be a quality fixture that could work for someone on a budget that didn't have individual reflectors & would still grow corals & clams well, as the RSM tanks do...
If I am missing something... please share
