I was searching for some 65W PC lights and found some pretty cheap on a site called aquatraders, I did a google search and found alot of negative comments but some of them are very old so seeing if anyone here has bought from them. I found some on Ebay as well for a decent price and I think it is the same person I bought from before so may just go that route. I have been using the same (cheap) ones for over a year and my plants do great so I dont see a need to buy the expensive coralife brand.

On a side note I recently read that Odyssea light fixtures are made buy coralife and market as a cheaper version, anyone know if this is true. I use an Odyssea brand light fixture and have never had any problems but was wondering if it is actually made by the same company that makes coralife. I know alot of other companies do this so it wouldnt surprise me if it is true.

I have never used them but personally I would go with the ebay user that you have used before. The bad reviews may be old but unless the website has changed owners they are still probably valid (I saw quite of few of the reviews when I googled the company).

How much did you pay for those on eBay? I ordered two 65's this week ($13.99 each). With UPS shipping I paid a total of $37.73 Coralife wants way too much for theirs. I'm still waiting for the UPS man to drop 'em off. If they work good I'll probably order two more for the other tank.
