Odyssea is a good brand for lighting. T5s are great, even for some soft corals if you want them. It depends on how deep your tank is and how many watts/lights you end up getting.

That should be enough to keep some softies like xenia and leather coral and some zoas and mushrooms. Queen Star polyps are pretty too and they spread quickly - oh, the options! But yeah, that system should work fine.
Are the lights individually reflected or not? Individual is best...

Is Odyssea a good brand for lighting. If not what would be? I'm looking at some T5 HO lights. I plan on having live rock, fish, snails and possibly some shrimp. Would these be ok for what I'm trying to do?
They are an OK brand. The reflectors for the bulbs aren't the best. They will be fine for a FOWLR tank, but if you plan on going reef I would go with a better fixture. I do have one of their MH fixtures for my tank, and it works for me but I wish I went with a better fixture.
