yes its http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp, i found this online store about 6 months ago and lucked out on someones used stuff so didnt have to find out if it was to good to be true. they do sell odysea lighting which is what i had on my 30 gallon for about 8 months and didnt have a problem with the light, it worked great. i dont know about the other stuff their though.

JASUTTON:
I have one of their Lights, I had to make some modifications becasue it was only set up with single switch but it appears to be working ok, I was like you the prices are to good to be true....
I have heard bad things about this place, I know if you do have a problem they are not helpful

thanks for the info...i think the prices may make it worth it to chance. I just wanted to get some lights for my 10 gal nano, so it isnt too huge of an investment.

thanks again

Aquatraders is awesome i get stuff from there all the time, I just set up a 10 hex and got a power compact light for it 11'' light with the legs and a wierd little power cord with a switch but i got it for 19.99 plus shipping and had it in about 5 days. They are for real..... Good $h!*.

I was going to buy a 9$ heater, but they tried adding 12$ extra for regular shipping....yeah right!!

I saw a post about a guy that bought a 150W HQI fixture from them that caught fire.

I always buy brand name products from well known dealers. That way even if the dealer doesn't give you good response or stand behind the product you can at least go to the MFG. Another consideration, is over time you may have quite a bit of money tied up in your little glass box (I have more than $30,000) and why save $15-$50 on a heater, pump, etc, that could wipe it all out.
