    Hi, so I'm add a extra t8 light to my light fixture, consider adding a 3rd
    My aquarium is a 3ft tank with a few plants will be added more as I go, but my question is there any type of paint or spray paint I could use make a even better reflector to enhance it?

    Is this for your hood? Gloss white will work. Although, I got myself mirror chrome by glue devil spray can. Works well for me.

    A gutter as a reflector also works. Or alanoid reflectors but they cost more.
