Reflection, not refraction!

Hullo everyone!
I'm planning on making a miny growing "chamber" using my oh-so-very-small aquarium. Please refrain the whole "make yarself a roum, mon!" since I'm not very interested in the whole thing.

All I want to know is is there anything besides mylar, and aluminum foil that happens to be somewhat effective for light reflectivity?
I don't mind if it's between 60-100%, and I'm not looking to pay big bucks either. The cheaper, the better.

Thanks for input! :D

since it's an aquarium (glass) you could paint the outside white giving a smooth and white reflective surface on the inside.

Good idea, but I'm thinking of something a slight bit less permanent, in case I decide to have fish again. Or any other animal for that matter, in me aquarium.

I'll second the white paint, though it would be a bit more efficient on the inside of the glass. And flat white is very efficient and very cheap. Spray can at walmart runs around $1.

One of those mounted razor blades that you use to scrape with, take that paint right off in no time.

Now! Hopefully, my plant grows to be as tall and sexy as me! :D
