swayd Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 AHHH that is one thing I look forward to getting for Christmas(hint hint) lol I am saving up right now and cant afford it at the moment especially since a new semester at school is coming up, Christmas, and maybe possibly moving! But let it be known that I will get one sooner or later, Hopefully sooner lol Thank you, it was PITA to get going but I got it to work.... I like running it out in the open next to my tank so that everyone can see how it all works Link to comment

swayd Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nice I will bookmark it for when I get the cashhhh lol I have already sold everything I dont like keeping old stuff lol yeah sorry I did DIY it in a way. I had some old hanging kit so I ran some wire through the holes on the metal slider thingys for the legs, used some industrial clamps and wire and taadaaa I was hanging lol Link to comment

swayd Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Well I dropped my phone in a bucket of saltwater so I have no phone but I will try to find a camera real quick... Oh and GHA is RECEDING really quick for some reason, and I know that it isnt the turbo snails because it is disappearing in the really hard to get places and crevices Link to comment
swayd Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Please excuse the GHA I am in the works of getting rid of it and I am winning at the moment... most of this stuff was covered completely a week ago COMPARED TO THIS, AND THIS IS THE SAME CAMERA... Link to comment

Dasani Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 How do you like the Odyssea fixture? Link to comment
swayd Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 I love it, it doesnt heat up and its a nice small fixture perfect for my tank. I have it pretty close to the water surface though, I am thinking of putting it up a little higher. The only bad part would be getting some 14watt T5 bulbs that arent Odyssea brand... I would recommend it if you are looking for a cheap MH... I just wish I could test how much par it puts out and if it really is pushing 150watts! Either way I think it is well worth the money!

Coastie Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 +1 I like mine! And it appears my coral does too! Link to comment
Coastie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Finally hung mine when I switched tanks I'm going to post pics soon. I think it turned out great. BTW if you measure the bulbs and get with evil66 he may have replacement bulbs for the crap blue odyssea bulbs. Link to comment
