I know it's cheap but pass it up! They are notorious for catching fire, and not working.

AquaTraders sell the Odyssea line of lights. I used an Odyssea 4 x 65W PC lights when I first started my tank. I had no problems with mine for 6 months, and a friend has used it on a FW tank for the past year. I know of two locals that use the 2 x 250W MH fixtures on their reef tanks with good results. They have a really bad reputation, but myself and the two people I mentioned have had good luck with them (especially considering their low cost).

Used one (4x55w PC) on my first tank for about a year with no problems. I did switch out the bulbs for better ones though.

I need to say that I used a PC oydessa when I first started just fine, but the MH lights are what I have heard horror stories about.

I do not know about this one, but I maintenence 3 tanks for my local doctor and 2 of his current pc's that he bought before I took over the tanks caught fire. One caught fire and one just smoked. Current sucks and they was only 1 year old. Now he has coralife aqualights and they rock! I think Current and Odyssea are about the same light.

Are you sure it is Current USA you are talking about. They make pretty decent lights and I don't believe they are the same as Odyssea. They are not cheap.

I bought a Jebo(same as Odyssea) PC fixture from ebay for my old 30 gallon and I never even had any problems with it. Now my cousin uses it on his freshwater tank, running for a year, plus when I had it I ran it for like two years.
