I've observed 3 different brands of fixtures in my limited reef time. I have a Catalina aquatics PC light on my 55, and a friend of mine has a Coralife PC on his 55 and an Odyssea PC on his 125. None of the 3 are MH lights, but the new multi plug, electronic ballast Odyssea MH's are supposed to be an improvement. Of all 3 brands, I'm most impressed with the Odyssea. They just seem to build a slightly better product than the other two. My catalina came with no splash guard and has convection cooling (i.e. no fans on the dang thing) and the Coralife just seems flimsier than the odyssea. The only problem with the odyssea was that one of the ballasts was unplugged upon delivery and after a 5 minute fix it has been working fine since.
