LOL..sounds like you heard again from the peanut crowd..ALL that was long back when they where the old magnetic ballast and single power cord. People should really learn to speak more facts then just spitting out info from down the daisy chain. If people put things like a batch being bad and making the WHOLE product line bad....NO one would ever own a GM or FORD car/truck.
I also heard that fire wich was never really a fire was caused by the owner tinkering with the ballast himself.
Its a good light for the money. The ballast are electronic..They are not as effiecient as coralife or others. BUT they do a good job and you can always upgrade the ballast later on down the line if you want. Still puts you a good few hundred dollars under the cost of anything else configured the same setup.
Think of these as a good platform to start with, You can keep it the way it is and will serve its purpose great..OR you can change out the MH ballast and still save a TON of cash and get the SAME if not better output the other complete hood systems.

yea people try to give these lights a bad rap but that was in the past with the old design.
I had 2 Current fixtures before this and current makes a good product. This light seems to be very nice as well. I am very pleased with getting rid of those fixtures and getting this one.

I have the odyssea fixture as well....72"metal halide
Awesome lights cant be touched for the money. I have had 3 different ones now on different tanks and all were and still are excellent.
buy one, save a few hundred for corals. get the metal halide and you can keep anythin you want in your tank
