There was a thread on reef central regarding the Odyssea. I haven't been able to read all of it but it looks like a lot of people are happy with them. They are much less expensive than other, more commercial, makers.

yes the halide is only 230 on ebay new so im thinking its a steal and i would love to own a clam or maybe some other corals that need halides and it looks like a good deal.

cool good price... if it was time to change my 125 over to marine, I would look into 2 of these... but that wont be for at least another 7 to 10 years (depending on how long my cichlids last)

Good find

Hey, what wattage is the halide.... I would assume the pc's are 55 a piece and the moon lights 1 so thats 112W leaving 330W? thats not right, they dont come in that wattage. maybe a 250W and the pcs are 95W a piece?

The Jebo Oddysea lights are OK. Their controls and ballasts are good quality parts. But their fans and bulbs leave much to be desired. The lamps tend to be on the yellow side of the spectrum so go for actinics and you might get something without yellow... And are you handy enough to take the fixture apart and replace the fans not if but when they start rattling and die?
