    A lot of people swear Odyssea is the worst light ever made. I've heard people say they will even catch your house on fire :eek:. I think because they are not as expensive as some of the big name fixtures people assume they are made of poop. You'll hear alot of "a friend of a freind of a friend of a friend has one and it sucks".
    I have two 24" Odyssea MH fixtures that I've been using for quite awhile on my 20g. Bought them both on eBay really cheap. One I've had for a couple years, the other I've had for a few months now. No complaints from me. In fact I bought two just so I can use them over my 75g I'm putting together.

    i have the same t5 fixture just 48" not 36" and it is great! everything is good except for the bulbs which suck. also my LED's pooped out on me in the first 3 months, now only 1 out of 4 work.
