has anyone used or tried the Odyysea MH?

[vexrsx05]

I was on aquatrader and saw the Odyssea MH 760 watts for only $359 shipped!! I thought that was a heck of a deal. Now whats your experience with the newer version ballast? Ive heard the older versions caught on fire and were crap! Hows the new electronic version one?

Whether or not the new ballast is safe the company is still a loser.

i guess.
i bought the 24" fixture last year, replaced the ballast with a 250w icecap electronic ballast. its a great fixture. i replaced the ballast because the stock ballast only accepts certain bulbs and was only pushing 150 watts for the MH instead of the 250w.
