Odyssea 36" T5 Light Fixture

[JMetaxas]

I figured what the heck..................I'll give it a shot. Bought it off Ebay for $80. 36" wide, and includes 2 actinic and 2 10000K T5 bulbs. It also has low light blue LED's.

Put it together, set the timers, which control the LED's, 2 Actinics and 2 10K bulbs independently.

I really like the colors and brightness too !!! Only time will tell how it lasts, but first impressions are very good. I have it on my 65 gallon which is cycling right now.

I will say, it's remarkable how inexpensive this is but.........wish me luck.

I had these a few years back. They work fine but are very poorly made. If it’s the same as what I had be very careful when changing bulbs the end cap and bulb clips get very brittle. I also found that the bulbs need to completely cool off before I could get them out of the end caps.

Well, an update. The unit is working as advertised. Yea, it's only been a couple weeks, but, so far so good.

I did just order 4 ATI bulbs to switch out. I'll report back after the switch over.
