    I would avoid Odyssea, they are known problem makers.

    I have the Nova (although just upgraded to MH) and for the $$ you can't beat it IMO - just get better bulbs in there because the ones that come with it suck!

    Well Im gonna go with the nova. I think I will just leave the bulbs on there for now and get a few lower light corals and see how I do.

    The bulbs it comes with will be fine to start with!

    I got the Nova also and its great. Just recently ripped it apart to retro fit it into my canopie. The bulbs to start will be fine for a little bit, but I would change them out into UVL or Geissmanns.
