iQuatics T5/T8 Aluminium Reflector-Increased output by up to 100%, 54W T5 / 38W T8, Twin Pack

Fits well and noticeable improvement in lighting level

Put it in the viv and it returned 98% of wasted light! Floyd says thanks

I fitted these to my Fluval 240 Litre / 120 cm long aquarium (style --> 10 years old, double strip T8 lighting) and they work really well.I would advise buyers to visit the iQuatics website and view the Video as to how the attachments (4 x metal brackets) work - I fitted mine in a different, harder way before viewing the video. The attachments join each reflector to the tube, there is no connection to the lid / lighting strip assembly of the aquarium as such; the attachments slot into each end of a reflector and then 'snap' onto the light tube. When correctly fitted the reflectors sit very close above & around the light tube to ensure the light is dispersed downwards into the aquarium. You don't need to have too much space between the light tube and the main lighting strip assembly to slot the reflectors in.Note:- Two sets of 2 brackets are included, one set for T5 tubes and one set for T8 tubes.Arrived in a very sturdy, well protected cardboard packaging.Would highly recommend.

They have made a massive impact to my lighting problems now my fish seem healthier and less stressed. The growth of my plants are really good as well I don’t seem to get any algae. The best part is that I can control how much white light I use and at night I turn the reflector upside down and just have the blue light shining down.

Excellent reflectors. So much better value than the T5 Juwel ones. I had to slighty ease the connection clips out. Its no big deal, just bend them over the tubes. I didnt realise I could have just bought the inserts as I already had these reflectors. Will know in future and this makes them an even better purchase. Highly recommended by a fish keeper of 30+ years.

I had cut it slightly shorter and it is perfect for my Fluval aquarium

Pros:+ very good value compared to the other reflectors+ the mirror finish has a protective film which is a nice choiceCons:- the supplied metal clips are a a real faff and don't fit the plastic bracket very well. They easily slip off.- The mirror finish is a piece of foil card, that isn't stuck very well to the plastic bracket when fiddling with the metal clips- they only cover about 2/4 of the tubeWould I buy them again?Probably not, I'd spend the extra few quid for the more expensive ones

Great support and communication on here from the supplier iQuatics, impressed with that.This item arrived quickly and is really easy to set up. These are a very simple but very effective design and it fit under my Juwel hood with no problems at all, just what I needed ! It took me just 2 minutes to assemble and fit 2 reflectors to my aquarium, now it is visibly brighter and I hope my plants will benefit too.Top marks ! I shall definitely be looking at iQuatics products in the future.
