Hey all!

I am getting close to setting up my 18g acrylic tank, and I have one piece left of the puzzle. I have this HQI socket from Hellolights.com:

I need the reflector and UV glass portion of the light, but can't find a small one. Anyone know where I can find one? Thanks for the help!

BTW, the footprint of this tank is the same as a 10g (10"x20"). The canopy is therefore pretty small, so the smallest reflector/UV glass enclosure, the better. :)

Have you looked at halogen floodlamps to use as a reflector? If I remember right one of the halogen wattages even fits the 150 HQI bulb so you just need to wire it for the ballast. I could be thinking of the 70 watt HQI though. The glass lens on the halogen fixture will also be a good UV filter.

I have looked, but I think they were pretty big. I'll run to Home Depot and Lowes today to check them out. Thanks for the tip!
