T5 HO reflectors

[jgraz]

OK so im relitivly new to all this and im not sure if i can add reflectors to my current light. My tank is a 44 gal corner pentagon. This is the light I have http://www.aquatraders.com/20-inch-4x18W-T5-Aquarium-Light-Fixture-p/52302.htm. When I started this i was not sure which way I was gonna go and now of course im wanting to add some types of coral. Im told the light as is would support mushrooms and LPS. I have also been told that adding individul reflectors would increase my options. I have been searching the web and have found zero reflectors for an 18 in bulb. Anyone know of any options. Should I just upgrade the light. I really dont have a ton of money to work with, If i get longer reflectors are the easy to cut down and add clips. Thanks in advance

How deep is your tank? 18 watt bulbs aren't going to penetrate to deep. You may get away with the light if you mount the coral high enough in the tank (not a great idea with mushrooms).

tank is 24" deep. I know I have to stay away from SPS. I currently have 2 plate corals in there they are sitting nicly on the bottom and seem to be doing quite well. Check out this thread and you can see pics of the setup http://www.njreefers.org/showthread.php?74813-My-first-FOWLR-44-gal-pentagon.
