Hey. I am tired of buying standard flourescent housing units....
I have a 20L with currently no live plants or anything special. I intend to put, at most, two 24 in T-8 bulbs, using my ballast and crap. I make wood canopies.... and on my saltwater I spent 30 bucks to buy a "reflector" .. but I was wondering- could I live the inside of my wooden canopy with aluminum foil to reflect the 2 standard flourescents? I was trynig to look around on the board and I kept egtting bogged down with information I don't understand about big-time lighting. This is a baby application compared to everything else I had read.
So someone let me know... the foil wouldnt be touching anything metal, by the way.
Thanks!
