Originally Posted by Saltwater8 Looks like you were right, sent them an email asking if their products were refurbished - never even bothered to respond... They have horrible customer service, as you can already see!

I don't know for sure, that's just what somebody told me when they bought it from a q u a t r a d e r s I have had mine up for over a month now with absolutely no problems and the lights and ballast are working GREAT!!!! I am very very impressed with this equipment for the price! I'm telling...

Here is the website...he updates it daily so be sure to check it out often because sometimes he is sold out and they are not displayed. http://stores.----.com/hombby Originally Posted by RoushRacer Could you possibly email me the info on where you got the odyssea lighting 2007?

Yes, they are the bulbs that come with the unit; they are also Odyssea brand. Unfortunately, the actinic bulbs are very blue and the MH bulbs are 20000K and not the 10000K that would work best with Actinic. So, all in all, they put out a very blue spectrum. I am going to take some pics with...

Can you use any type of 150 HQI bulb as a replacement for this system? I have heard that most ballasts are set up for 150/175W bulbs, but I wasn't sure whether or not this one was.

One last question for you psusocr1...are there really three separate power cords/plugs? Can you set the thing up on timers?
