Odyssea or Sunpod?

[Chromed1]

Which is a better setup for a smaller tank?

Odyssea 20" 223W Metal Halide System 3 Cords

175W double ended HQI 20000K & two 24W compact fluorescent bulb actinic blue & two blue moon LED night light

OR


20" 1x150w HQI Current USA Sunpod 14,000K Metal Halide Fixture


Big difference in price but, is the Sunpod really worth it? It appears that both are HQI just 175W 20K vs 150W 20,000K. Any input on either?

I don't know about the Sunpod setup, but I have heard of alot of people having problems with the odyssea metal halide setups. Apparently, the ballast were built very poorly and they don't last very long.

Odyssea brand is cheaper priced for a reason.....if odyssea is what you can afford then i'm sure it will work out for you. Current brand stuff is usually pretty good in my experience. Depends on how important that extra money is to you.
