Has anybody tried these fixtures? 2x250mh, 4x54w t5, 6 moon lights, 1 cooling fan.
Odyssea 48" 716W Metal Halide System Advance Plus. For 289.00 plus free shipping. Sounds like it might be worth a try!

Dominator, let me know how you like the light when you get them. I may switch over.
Thanks, Steve.

I ordered 2 of the 48" 250w MH/T5 combos, I really like the fixtures, the external ballests are nice make the fixture lighter. I have to say though I am going to change the bulbs as soon as my new ones come in.

EDIT:

I got the ones with only 2 T5's per fixture and it figures they would come out with new ones after I have mine. The new one look sweet.

Mine is exactly the same as the first link, I bought it 3 years ago, and it has been running pretty good. It is a great deal. I will buy a bigger one when I am going to upgrade.

Yes these do look good. Open design and presumably less heat.
However aquatreaders have 2x250 and more atractive price
$289 and free shipping for 2x250w+4T5+LED + Fans vs $389 +shipping for a 2x150W at fishneedit (no fans , no LED).

And the ballasts are OEM for icecaps

I'm posting to see what peoples' experiances have been with dealing with Aqua Traiders. Odyssea seems to have been improving over the years and you cant beat the prices.
