I found a 48" Oddysea 175 Metal Halide fixture for sale used and was wondering if anyone has any opinion on the fixture. It looks like two MH bulbs 175w each im guessing and two 96w pc bulbs. I would be putting it on my 90 gal and would like to keep a clam. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pat

that fixture is a older unit using a differant ballast,work very well but may have the prolbem of catching on fire,the newer ones us electronic ballast,but only put out about 175-185w on the 250w unit,i just sold mine to my son-in-law,worked great no problems,just wanted more light.........researh and you can find them new for 300.00( 2x250hqi/4-65w compact)cant give you the venders name,just research,good luck.mike
