ballast

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

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.
