odyssea tf light fixture from aquatraders

Has any one here tried the T5 HO by Odyssea from aquatraders. I am thinking of purchasing one for mt 20 gallon long nano reef. Anyone have any opinions or info on it?

 

i have a 2xt5 ho odyssea fixture on a planted fresh water tank(20 gallon long). i think its fine for plants but i don't think i would recommend it for a reef tank, atleast not a 2 bulb one.

 

are you taking about this one Aquarium Lightings - T5 HO T5 High Output with no pics of it

 

it can't be that one because its too short for a 20 long.

 

all i saw on the page is 36's which are to long

 

It is the 4 light fixture. It is the one on their site with no picture. I know it is short I will have to come up with a way to mount it. I am interested in the quality of it. I will probably switch out the bulbs it comes with for better ones.

 

If you want a good quality T5 fixture, I would go with one with individual reflectors, the one you are talking about doesn't have them. With T5s, most important factor are the reflectors.

 

I would think twice about that lighting swstem I have one and they are very poorly made I have been having trouble with this system sence I tryed changing the bulbs. The system I have the 760 watt one with 4 t5s 65watt bulbs and 2 250 watt metal bulbs.

 

so should I change the stock bulbs with some coral-life bulbs or something? or is there really not too much of a difference.
