Odyssea lighting?!?

Spend a few extra dollars and get something safe and reliable or.... heat up the room get a burned out ballast or shortened bulb life or maybe even a fire. Some of life's decision are tough and some others have an answer that seems self evident. Good luck with your decision.

Stratus, this might seem a bit off-topic, but do you have in place any Co2 system or fertilizer regime? Your money will be better spent on a Co2 system than lights, especially at the level you're trying to buy.

i would also recommend skipping aqua traders and getting something a little more expensive, but reliable. if you have to save for a little bit longer and leave your current fixture on the tank for a little while longer, don't worry: your fish have been doing fine with it all along.

i ended up bidding and winning a nova extreme 4x39 watt fixture, with 2 460nm bulbs and 2 10000k bulbs. it was half the price of a new one, because its a refurbished one. so it should be fine.

cant wait to get it in and see how it works,.
