Just curious if anyone has taken substrate level Par measurements of there tank, then removed the reflector and retested? I have seen Vaughn's data from his 10G with and with out a "simple reflector" and it made a big difference.
Just very curious on how much can be gained by a "perfect" reflector on a T5 or PC setup, but will take any results from any bulb type.
I'm considering going to T5HO's in the future, from my 2x ODNO shoplight and am wondering if 1 54w T5 with a TEK reflector will be enough or comparable to what I have currently.
Thanks in advance
