God Powdertang05 you are such a NEGATIVE NANCY! I am sick of hearing your negative opinions on everything! My house will NOT burn down and I have 2 Odyssea products right now and neither of them have given me ANY problems at all! One is my skimmer (have to clean it out about 2x a week with all the green sludge) and the other is one of my 2 PC fixtures. Under which my Xenia, Colt, Mushrooms, Green Star Polyp, AND Yellow Polyps have all at least DOUBLED if not QUADRUPLED (in the case of my Yellow Polyps) since they have been under that fixture! And like I said in one of my other posts, the people who had fires, which was like ONE, had done modifications to their ballast! I have heard complaints of people not receiving bulbs or getting broken bulbs, but that's not because of Odyssea. That's because of the actual company shipping them poorly. Yes one of my bulbs on my Odyssea 2x96W PC fixture arrived broken. But the guy who shipped it replaced it IMMEDIATELY. I will chronicle the shipping, receiving, and operation of my fixture over the next several weeks, WITH pictures, and you will see. Don't rain on everyone else's parade. I can't afford $1000 for a top quality brand MH fixture. So I go with what I can afford. And don't tell me that it will burn my house down when you have absolutely NO proof of that other than GOSSIP! And just because not all of us do things the way Mr. Perfect Powdertang does them doesn't mean our tanks aren't just as good. Believe me when I say my tank is my baby! And I would NOT do anything to jeopardize that. I have invested too much of my time, effort, and MONEY to just get a problematic fixture without researching it beforehand.
