    I run an oddysea 4 bulb t5 on my 55 lps and softy tank and love it.I've owned several oddysea units over the years and have always been happy with them.Are they the best money can buy?No,but for a reefer on a budget with no interest in sps,they are more than adequate.Get them from ebay though as insanespain said,not aquatraders.Alot of the bad rap they got was due to them and an old design of mh's that they had an issue with,which has been corrected for quite a while.

    I have 3 of the odyssea figtures on my 125 and like them alot I did change out most of the bulbs to ati. The only problem I have had is with the moon lights. They don't last, out of the 12 moon leds I have only 8 still work.

    If you are on ebay, there is a seller called hobby lighting. I just got a 36" t5 4 bulb from them for $100. It has a built in timer that controls daylights, actinics, and leds. Also while it doesn't have individual reflectors, it has 2(one for days, one for acts.)They are based in canada, but they shipped for free UPS Ground, and I got it in 5 days(weekend included). I haven't had it running very long so I don't know long term, but so far I am very pleased. I would say it is at least worth looking into.
