Does anyone have experience with this fixture? or,
Does anyone know who has a better price for a fixture with these specs?

This one looks too good to be true...
Has anyone owned one of these?

I don't see a reflector on that unit, which is a big deal.

I have this brand new in sealed box, never even removed original tape.

I'd do $150 just so I don't have to mess with returning.

I had that unit when I first started a small 20 gal frag tank a couple years ago . I gave it away and went with a better quality aquatic life 24 in 4 bulb with built in timer . I had read a few stories of cheap lights catching fire and did nit want to risk it

In the descriptions, they say:

Wave Point: Individually contoured reflectors

2nd One: German Aluminum Reflector for Maximum and Optimal Lighting Effect

Little quick on the post key...

I had the one Jesse has and it was a great light. The original owner replaced the bulbs with ATI bulbs and it grew whatever I put into the tank.

I bought it off eBay / aqua traders it was a Odessa unit or light similar
Pull up Odessa t5 fires I believe it was off of reef central but it was a couple years ago.
I could smell what seem to be wires burning and it wasn't worth the worries

I had an odyssea and it was awesome. It did get hot at times but besides that it was good.
