jim i posted this in another thread but hellolights.com seems great but they did not carry one bulb i need which is a t5 for a 40inch oddesea fixture. hellolights recomended me to aquatraders for that bulb. While i was there i found(oddesea) pc bulbs for $20 i normally get coralife bulbs. I heard somewhere the oddesea bulds are not that good. What your take should i try these or stick to coralife or is there a more prefered brand.

I would normaly suggest you steer clear of any PC bulb or settup, however, I know very little about the Oddesea line so I really cant make a recommendation on that. On a general note, I would be leary about any 'discount' type of bulb, Id go with a proven bulb that has been used and tested by other reefers. Ive used Coralife VHO's and as far as flourescents go, I think theyre much better quality and give off a better light than others at least in the 10K range.....
