Aquaz T5 parabolic reflector review

[BarraCuda™]

At less than $20 a piece .. Aquaz should be the best value for money T5 parabolic reflector at the moment.

It comes packaged with 2 plastic snap on C-clips that snaps on tightly to the reflector. The C-clip can "swing" slightly from side to side to accomodate the movement of the tube. The overall design of the reflector is good and its light yet rigid enough.

However, I personally would like to have predrilled holes for mounting of the reflector. The inverted "V" makes it difficult to drill holes.

yup.. i'm using them as well.. really good value for money.... much much brighter with the reflectors... my clip different from yours though... I mounted the clip onto the wooden plank.. so not much trouble for me


Just mounted the reflectors.... look at those glaring reflections


A closer look...


Before lights on...


After lights on.... How many tubes do u see?

I am using the 4ft Reflector to replace the "cheap" reflector from the 5ft AquaLight Retrofit Kit and then using the "cheapo" Aqualight to cover the remaining 6 inches at both ends of the retrofit kit.

This is the one currently deployed on my "outside" 6ft tank.

Overall ... pretty good reflector and value for money!

HI bro,

Can share where did you buy the reflector from??

Thanks.

it comes included with the reflector

AquaMarin @ 246 Jalan Kayu is selling them. Look for Janet when you are there. She might give you guys a good price for the reflectors.. She got a wide range of AquaZ's T5 parabolic reflectors. Even AquaZ's T5 tubes. Hope this helps.
