Fishneedit t5 VS. Odyssea

Nice, you won't be dissapointed. For the record I ran an odyssea 250w MH + 4x54w T5HO for years with no problems.

It's probably hit or miss with that company, but all companies have their issues. (maybe odyssea has less QC than other companies though).

 

It was definitely a miss for me, my 4 bulb t5 from aquatraders (oddysea) almost caught my house on fire. The driver was messed up supposedly.

 

Ouch:/

 

Yep.. They looked great though lol. Horrible customer service as I remember.

 

Alright, one more poll before i make my purchase next week.

I think the nova is the way to go.

 

I just wish I could use ATI bulbs with it... The truelumens should be fine for Sps though...

 

Aren't the Nova's $300?

IMO go FishNeedIt, they will both have similar amounts of power but the FNI fixture has way more bulb choices.

 

It's 100$ used at my Lfs.
