fake sun opinions...

I ran upon an odyssea 20" 1x175 MH, 2x24 CF, 2 moonlights, and it seems to be exactly what I want for my 30g cube that I plan on keeping a clam, anemone, leathers, mushrooms and probably some others. So what's your opinion on this lighting config, it's also one heck of a deal so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for, but here it goes.
Sounds like a good system for that tank, though I do not have any experience with that fixture. If it was my choice, I'd go with a 14kk Phoenix MH bulb, one PC actinic, and the other a 10kk. You can also keep SPS and LPS corals too.
Have you checked out the Sunpod already?

Yea checked out the sunpod, but it was just a 175 MH, and i figured this one having 2x24 cf would be better, especially since it was about $100 cheaper. I guess what I was shooting for was if others thought that this would be adequate for what i am looking at. Sorry about the confusion.

Odyssea has a poor overall reputation. IMO you taking a chance with these lights as to there performance and longevity.
You have to figure something is up when all other manufactures of this type of lighting are pretty much in the same ball park as far as price and then have odyssea lights be so much more inexpensive.
Believe me I am all for finding ways to keep from being taken for a ride price wise when it comes to this hobby but as for lighting I think you may be better off excepting a mid range bid so to speak.
