They look nice, however they get mixed reviews (at least in UK).  |

Are these for real? I thought that I heard mention that odyssea light fixtures caught fire? If these are solid units, why are they so cheap? At that price I would upgrade every tank in my house, sounds to good to be true, IMO.

I have the 1072watt fixture my its a great light less than 600 dollars very nice to look at 3-250 MHs 2-96watt acs 2-65watt acs they advertise that there are 8 moonlights but actully there are 2 in every location so 16 are there very cool.
I read alot about the light and had mixed feelings so i decided to try it man im glad i did
but saying that i took extra care installing it i put a fan on the ballest that comes on when the acs come whicth is about 1-hour before the MHS then it goes off after the halides have been off for a while the ballast never even get warm as far as i can tell a very well made peice. | |

I also have a Odyssea light fixture and its been running for almost two yrs now and everything is good so far. The only thing that I had to do was to replace one of the cooling fans inside the unit. Since I was there, I replace the other one and added two more. I also have another fan hitting the ballast. I will say that they are not the best qaulity around but for the price, you just cant beat it. If I where to buy a good name brand light with all the bells and whisltes this one has, it would cost AT LEAST $1000.00. Instead I paid only $329.00 with shipping included and "free" bulbs.

I have been looking at this 48 x 760 fixture for some time now looks like the corallife unit, but i am thinking its the Odyssea because of the price difference . The ad does not tell what the hqi bulbs are , 5k 10k 14k 20k ? Luna thats a good price for that fixture . Was that a mail order buy? _________ 90 Gal "Reefish" Tank 30 Gal Sump 135 EuroReef Skimmer 50lbs Various Live Rock-Fiji, Tonga, Ect Assorted Mushrooms (orange spotted) Assorted Coral (star polyps angels love to snack on) FISH-- Emperor Angel (just starting to change), Red Sea Sailfin, Banded Jawfish (BIG eater), Flame Angel, Royal Gramma, Eilbis Angel CLEAN UP CREW-- Blood Shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp, Purple Spine Sea Urchin, Margarita Snails, Cat's Eye Snails, Tequila Snails, Emerald Crabs, | |
