Using mirrors in a canopy?
Hi crew- I keep saying “this is my last question”, so my apologies. My canopy is ready for the lighting to be installed. Are mirrors better than polished aluminum? << Hmmm, maybe. Harder to bend and shape. May be easier to clean. Not sure what I would rather use. >> Mirrors are less expensive. << Really? I bought the reflector for my 55 gal for $10. >> I know weight is an issue. I do not plan on taking the canopy off, except for emergencies, etc. Would the weight of thin mirrors ( 1/8″) be too much on the sides of a 90 gallon? << Weight is an issue. Boy that is tough. I think the main problem is getting a properly shaped set up with mirrors. >> Should I just go with polished aluminum? Stainless steel? Mylar?? << Not Mylar. Also, not steel. I would go polished aluminum, but I also like seeing people try new things. So if you think you can make it go well with mirrors, then do so. >> Thank you so much. << Blundell >> – Canopy Completion – Hi crew –
