I'm replacing an 8 month old Odyssea MH/t5 fixture after one MH ballast crapped out, the other started to flicker and one of the the t5 ballasts started to go. (cheap fixture??- lesson learned I guess). I need to do something before the other MH ballast goes.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this fixture:

Also, I'd be willing to switch to all t5s if anyone thinks there is an affordable fixture that could sustain my acroporas. (I keep sps/lps in a 90 with a refugium. Great luck so far with livestock.......not light fixtures) Any ideas????

One of the BEST! They just came out with the maristar 2 that has 2 extra T5's and LED moon lights. Unfortunately the 36 inch is not avail yet.

I have a 48" model. It has been great so far.
