Ira Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Finished putting the 2X3' tubes I had over my sump into a reflector I bought ages ago in Napier, squeeze it into the stand over the sump, plug it in...Hear a little crackle and one of the tubes doesn't light. Well, that's annoying...Wait...Is that smoke? Lift the fitting up to look under it...Nice little orange flame about half an inch long busy melting the part of the fitting that the tubes plug into. So...Going to have to overhaul my refugium lighting. Thinking I'll try a handful of screw in flouros and covering the top of the stand with mylar to reflect the light back down. Anyone have any other cheap suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 The reflector was, I took out the rusty 1X2' fitting in it and replaced it with 2x3' fitting I'd been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
