First off, posting links to online auctions/selling sites a look down apon. Odyssea isn't the best brand out there. What type of corals are you looking to keep? What's your budjet?

I don't know much abou coral so I just plan to pick some easy one

is this a better one, or should i go with the T5 eight bulbs 420W?

not the best light, power compacts are not very good.
Look at an aquactinics t5x 5 54 watt T5 fixture. Not cheap, but it will grow anything you want in a 90 (with good PAR bulbs).
