What is the best reflector to use for 250 watt. Havent decided on DE or SE yet. Hearing good things about Lumatek ballast though. Give me some ideas. What do you like about yours, or what would you like to change.\\

i have used pfo, lumenarc, lumenbright, and now use lumenmax... they are honestly similar enough for me that if i was repurchasing i would buy whatever i could get a deal on. lumenarc and lumenmax seem to focus the light straight down a little more, but it wasn't extremely noticeable to me. i dont have a par meter, so my observations are anecdotal, not scientific

I like the Lumen max 2 moguls (I use Radium lamps). They seem to spread the light better than the Lumen max elite. I can see where the elites would be good for deep tanks.
