I would like to make a comment regarding this thread.....
The person that referred me to aquatraders.com was at my LFS. He has been selling coralife and other fixtures for several years. He, so kindly, informed me that the lights that are sold under the odyssea brand name are manufactured by the same company that manufactures the coralife lights (notice the "exact" similarity in the fixtures)....Has anyone tried to deal with coralife customer support lately?
In summary, my odyssea products have exceeded my expectations. I mean, come on, the same light that sells for $350~ is only $109 without the little rectangluar brand-name plate.
I have a skimmer from there also...PS75 is the model. The powerheads on the skimmer are of what seems to be a slightly inferior quality. I say this only because of the fact that I have recently snapped an impeller shaft during routine cleaning. It's a 250gph unit. Luckily, I can replace the entire pump with strainer, foam, and mounting kit for $12.95.
Anyways......I took a chance and sounds like I lucked out
