Maxx, I could do that but it would put my PC bulbs 5 1/2" from the open water. Do you think that is a good idea?
Pcs dont get as hot as MH's so temp transfer isnt as big a problem. The only thing I would be worried about would be bulbs breaking from water contact. Can you put a glass or plexi barrier/shield between the PC's and the water?
The amount of light lost on flat reflectors is significant....something like 40%.
