120g refurb

[TiggrReefer]

In my 130g refurb I am replacing all 8 of my T5 bulbs (48”)
THE PROBLEM IS that the original aluminum reflector shields fell off because the clips were ferrous and rusted away. In the meanwhile I misplaced them and assume that I no longer have them
Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase replacement reflector shields??

In the alternative, as anyone tried to make a larger shield (maybe out of flashing??) to be above the bulbs and on the underside of the wooden hood?
Thanks

I would imagine with a metal break and some flashing material you could “recreate” the pieces back to original and maybe use some stainless or aluminum rivets to keep them in place. Hope this helps. Happy reefing!

I was hoping to find something pre-made.

Do you not like the reflectors available through BRS?

What they sell is what I have posted...

Exactly what soxfan posted. You want each tube with a reflector surrounding the three sides, whether individual reflectors or part of a properly bent single unit, to direct all the par into your reef. A single large flat piece of metal behind all of the bulbs would allow too much light scatter.
