    Hey superclouds, I also have an Odyssea light fixture, so dont be surprised if you might have to do some modification to it. Their not the best quality, but their pretty good. Oh and one more piece of advice, put a fan to cool the ballasts, just in case. Even though Odyssea has come a long way, its better to be safe than sorry.

    Yea i've been meaning to do it for a while, the room my tank is in (basement) has a shared outlets with the rest of the room which also holds 3 computers. I'm just giving my tank a deadicated breaker since I have a spare and the breaker box is not far away.

    Thanks Luna, I'm shopping for a fan now. Hard to find in Michigan and the middle of winter lol, good thing they have the summer stuff going on the shelfs now.
