Ok, I've been too lazy to post this, but I figured that I should get around to it. I recently switched from a 26G bowfront tank to a 20 Long tank. I had a Finnex 4x24W T5 setup over the bow and it has two white and two blue bulbs under a flat reflector. Having individual parabolic reflectors on my T5 bulbs downstairs, I know that they would be a lot more efficient with their own reflectors.
I ordered 4 sets of waterproof endcaps/standoffs and 4 of the 24" parabolic reflectors from IceCap. When they arrived, I ripped the Finnex system apart to get the bulbs and ballasts from it. I'll use the fixture for something else down the road I assume, seeing as I never throw anything away.
I got the bulbs mounted in the canopy over the 20L and they're staggered a bit, but not much. In the two pictures, you can see how the reflectors makes a huge difference. It's WAY brighter in person, but the camera may not have picked it up like my eye does
Anyway, on to the pics...
