    You'll have to be a bit more specific...what are you looking for? LED's, T5's, T8's, candle holders, etc...?!

    Snoop around in the classifieds section...or at least just keep your eyes on it, people tend to drop lights in there ever so often.

    Problem I have with any quad unit (maybe the Odessea works different...haven't owned one so I dont know for sure)...you have to run all the tubes or it doesn't work. Can anyone confirm this that has a quad...?

    Unless you planting heavy from the start and running CO2...running 4 tubes might be a bit too much light. I only run 2 tubes on my 5footer...granted...It's mostly low light plants (crypts, anubias, crinnum, etc)

    Cool , Thanks for that, Think you can run 2 or 4 , It has 2 power units, I have seen some people use it with the bulb disconnected. Wanted to get the quad just in case

    On the Odessea quad you have 2 seperate ballasts. Each ballast has its own on/off switch.

    You looking to buy new? I visit a site that makes custom LED fixtures for planted tanks (grow lights)
    Check out "makelight"
