72" 1134W Metal Halide Aquarium Reef Light w/ FREE Ship - (eBay item 130156874384 end time Oct-01-07 11:48:38 PDT)

Possibly this light fixture? on a 125, maybe good for a larger tank in the future?

get the same thing off aquatraders, but ten dollars more than the one off ebay also aqyatraders is more reliable

Mcgyver,this is my opinion,its an Odyssea which I'm not fond of.Bobby thinks its a good fixture but the bulbs and ballast sucks.So look at replacing the bulbs/ballast with something else.The company once had fire issues with the older models.Maybe there PC fixture is alright for people looking to keep low-mod light corals but IMO,look elsewhere if you're wanting MH.Lighting is one of the most important equipment besides skimmers,don't risk it!

Reefs right.
Read some real horror stories about those lights.I wouldnt risk my families home and lives for it.

I am one that can talk about the horror stories, I had one start on fire. Burned my wall and aquatraders had nothing to do with me when I tried to get some reinbursement.

Yep. I too have only heard bad things about Odyssea. Spend the extra cash to go with a reliable brand that won't leave you homeless.
