    Hello all!

    I'm still considering the Odyssea light for my 37 gallon. I'd love to see some real life examples of some tanks that are lit by Odyssea fixtures!

    Thanks for any and all feedback!

    well i got a crap camera and by no means am a photographer, but here's a few pictures of my tank. it's a 55 gallon with 2 150watt odyssea pedents with the t5 actinics. i bought them off ebay from topdogsellers. i gave $200 for the pair. my anemone has tripled in size in probably five months. it's roughly 15 inches across. my frogspawn, polyps, and a few mushrooms seem to like it also. is it the best? no, but i'm having great results with them. when i swap bulbs, i will buy another brand bulbs, but these are fine for now.

    Either, actually. I'd be interested to see the difference. I was planning on replacing the bulbs right away though.

    Thanks,
    David

    That's nice! Looks like you've been able to keep some great stuff under that light! Ever tried any clams?

    Here are a few of my 20 tall with Odyssea 250W MH (stock 15K bulb about a year and a half old) and 24W T5's. I've been very happy with the Odyssea light so far. ;D
