Phase420 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 QUOTE (Phase420 @ Mar 30 2009, 04:17 PM) Just to add to the thread, I own two Odyssey lights 24" 150w HQI + PC and 48" (2)x250w HQI + (4)T5 I love them both and have not had any issues, I did how ever upgrade my bulb on the 24" to a Coralife 20k. Yay for cheap ebay lights! I dont think that 24" light u have exists. maybe a typo? also. If they are underpowered 250w That would be great for ppl that 1 in the 150watt rang hrh It does, Its on my 29 Gallon tank. Thanks Link to comment

SK8URDEAD Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 well new update to my light. i bought 2 65w 420/460nm current pc bulbs for the fixture and they lit up perfectly. also my zoas look a hole lot nicer and everything pops out very nicly. will be upgrading the ballast and bulbs next month to see how big a difference i will get out of the stock bulbs. also will get new pics later, Link to comment
evilc66 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Current dual actinics are awesome. Link to comment
stanlalee Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 this is a 36" fixture with 96w pc? why are the pc bulbs so short? 96w pc bulbs are 34" and run the lenth of a 36" fixture. Are you sure they arent 65w pc "called" 96w. Odyssea has a habbit of doing that (calling 150w de fixtures 175w for example). Link to comment

Odyssea has a habbit of doing that (calling 150w de fixtures 175w for example). no in my first post i accidently put in 96w's they are 65ws i just didnt read the box it had came in and assumed they were 96 for some odd reason. and yes evil the current dual actinics look sexy!!!! corals pop like crazy! now all i need to do is change the bulbs and ballast and see how things go then!
