Oddeysea Light

I need your guys opinion i have ordered and oddeysea light i have ordered this light before and have been fine with it, the problem isnt long enough to fit it on the 180 should i go back to them and get a 72 inch, or should i convince my dad to get a new or used light thats name brand.

I have a 48"odyssea light fixture that I bought a year and a half ago and have been rebuilding it ever since then, from the ballasts, fan, moon lights and halide bulbs, the next thing is the actinics...lol so I would save up or get dad to spring for a better product. Just my opinion though.

Ditto with Hemlock. There are some people who have had some success with that company (or whatever name they are going by this week) but there are WAY to many of the OTHERS for me to spend my hard earned money on a long-shot for quality.

It's your money (or maybe your Dad's) but honestly that's not a company I'd put much (any) faith in. Also in addition to just plain crappy materials at one time they were known to have caused a couple of home fires. Not worth it IMHO.

A 60" light would work fine over a 72" tank though. As a rule a light system one size smaller is just fine

yea i talk to the person who help me setup my tank and he said he can get 30 to 40 percent off on hamilton lights hopefully with the lower price my dad will go for it, if not there is always hyponsis lol

it wont work unless you modify it. the legs dont go out 6 inches in each direction. so if you built a hood yes if your just put it on top no. 72-12=60 not 72 you would have to make legs that go out 6+ inches. and i dont see any of those on the internet yet
