Has anybody bought a light fixture for auqa traders? Are the any good?
They sell Odyssea and I have owned several PC fixtures and a MH/PC fixture. They are OK if you want to take a chance on it lasting though I personally have never had any problems with them myself. I have heard of many people and their lighting outfit going out on them and the trouble with getting Aquatraders to do anything-I understand theya re about impossible to get in contact with.
I would like to point out though that, yes they are much cheaper than name brands, but I have owned and do now own name brand lightings and after all the years in this hobby and all the light fixtures I have had and do still own I would have rather put the money that I spent on the many odyssea units toward good name brands.
For one, the bulbs in Odyssea are cheap and you can see that when compared to name brand, especially the MH bulbs. I am not knocking the Odyssea for someone that cannot afford a better brand, but your corals and even your eyes as far as what you see in color and intensity wise will differ if you were to compare side-by-side.
I would not have you believe that you are going to be wasting your money, but you are going to be buying a generic that quality suffers on compared to if you just put a little more money together and went ahead and got a good name brand from the start. Luck.
