DIY Lumenbright reflectors


Veni Vidi Vici

Recommended Posts

I built a DIY Lumenbright reflector mock up a while back with a pattern i found on another salt water forum and thought i might build a pair for my build if i can find some high polished reflective material for a reasonable price. Anyway I thought i would post it if anyone was interested in doing it.

Here is the pattern I started with.

I decieded to fist mock it up with poster board to make sure it was going to work before i invested the time and money into fabricating a metal one.

I bought a piece of stock sheet metal from a hardware store and cut it with tin snips and bent it up with a 12" hand break and a 10' aluminum break.

Fasened together with some rivits.

And .........

Only difference this time is I want to build two thin side cabinets that reach from floor to top of hood.

I want to keep dosing pumps controller supliments,,,,,, in them because the stand is going to be filled with my 75 gal sump/refug.

Something like this kinda,,,sorta...
