 Aquarium light 48" reef odyssea 260wt power compact hey guys.. i'm just starting to build a mix aquarium.. and i saw this "AQUARIUM LIGHT 48" REEF ODYSSEA 260WT POWER COMPACT" for $90. is it worth it? I am not planning to put a lot of fish, corals and live rocks. I just want a decent and simple aquarium. I have a 75 gallon tank. I'm at the verge of filing bankcuptcy because of this new hobby i'm getting my self into heheheh.. anyone please help me. spent a lot of money already within the last couple of days. thanks  |

| Re: Aquarium light 48" reef odyssea 260wt power compact I would try to ask arond on different forums and see if people have any used ones to sell. Odyssea is not a very good brand. I have 2 of their strips with no problems, but I can tell they are just made cheaply.

| Re: Aquarium light 48" reef odyssea 260wt power compact they all work but from what Ive read t5 are the newest technology. not alot of solid info because they havent been around for very long. I have sps corals and they do good under t5s. I dont think powercompact or satilite are as bright but they work too. |

| Re: Aquarium light 48" reef odyssea 260wt power compact ive had the 48" 260wt PC fixture from odyssea for just over two years now and other than regular changes on the bulbs its been no problems at all for me. when i was buying it all i found was bad reviews and that they were cheap but from my experience no problem and $90 rather than 2-4 hundred was worth the risk for me to try. |

| Re: Aquarium light 48" reef odyssea 260wt power compact I bought current dual sat. 48" with 230watts from a local lfs for $185. i regret not seeing that the t-5 from drs.fostersmith is $185 also.. bummer. i got impulsive again hehehe. anyway.. i'm close to cycling now. i'm buying a ro/di ( aqua-safe ) then a 5olbs LR by next week. any comments on ro/di from aqua-safe? i'll appreciate it. |

| Re: Aquarium light 48" reef odyssea 260wt power compact Check out thefilterguys RO/DI Systems I've heard good things about them, I just picked up replacement filters for my Captive Purity RO/DI unit from these guys...much cheaper...and I could be wrong, but I think 0 TDS is 0 TDS. |
