20" fixtures?

I've the 20" Odyssea 175W HQI 20,000k with 2 24W compact fluorescent actinic blue bulbs for $170 + $37 (gnd shipping from CA to NY) on the AP 24g tank. MH looks great but the CF is weak.
 
Jebo/Odyssea is great when it's working and sucks arse when they break.

I don't even know where to begin looking fo a 175W HQI bulb.
 
off topic a little,but my dad has the Jebo 175 watt halide with 24 watt atinics, and it seems to be very well made. Everything on the inside is on little tracks so it's easy to take apart. Recently my dad bought a 150 watt bulb to se if it would work and its the exact same size, so i wonder if the 175 is truly 175 watts, and so far so good. The 150 watt bulb is still going strong.
 
I think the 150W should work without any problem but if it was a 200W bulb then you may have a problem because the ballast can start upto 175W.

I got mine from aquatraders.com (in CA) and also pick up extra 175W 20K bulb for $25 (this company is very expensive on shipping probably to made up for the low prices ) for spare. I do agree that their quality is bad--brand new unit and one of the two actinic doesn't work out of the box and it's not the bulb. I needed the light and didn't want to repackage the thing so I'll have to take it apart and check the wiring on the connector one of these days.
