hellolighting or marinedepot carries sheets of highly reflective material used for aquarium lighting. However I don't think that type of refrector will be good for [acronym:ce0c9d4333="Metal halide light"]MH[/acronym:ce0c9d4333] you need something parabolic so the light is focused down into the tank.

I would get the ones that are already pre-bent to shape. I use 2 spider reflectors that work well. I think they run about $30-$40 a piece or less. Getting that stuff bent to shape is a pain.
