Hi again all,
Sorry, but I've been really busy. My mother has been diagnosed with cancer so I've been in and out of town. I ended up buying 4 reflectors (the Tek T-5 reflectors, not the Icecaps). The Tek reflectors are a little narrower and can be "gently" squeezed into the factory setup. However, I did have to notch out the reflectors so that the LED nightlights would shine through.
At first I just put the reflectors on the day lights and noticed that I could see back into my live rock into places that were a bit dark before. After about a week I put reflectors on the actinincs and noticed an increase in the amount of blue range light down into the tank. I don't have any meters to take measurements but when the room lights are turned off, the tank is a good bit brighter and it seems like my corals like the extra light.
Hope that this info helps out.
Wayne
