I have had a 72" metal halide system since october 2006 never had no problems other than change a couple fans. Now i need a power compact ballasts for my 2 130watt pcs. It is one ballasts no numbers on or nothing. Where can i get replacement ballast that would work i read up all the other posts about them.

I to have a odessea and I cant find bulbs for it. Try going to an electrical wholesale house for your ballast, Take old one along and they should be able to match it

what kind of bulbs do you need

These guys sell all of the odessea stuff and have replacement parts for most everything. I have heard their costumer service isn't the best but its a place to start.

+1 above... Aquatraders has alot of the replacemant parts. Go here for th65 w ballasts http://www.aquatraders.com/aquarium-...llast-kit.html
If you wanted to replace the balasts with another PC type you could with the same wattage. You could also replace the bulbs with probably better output or colors.
