JEBO good or bad?

[gargonzo]

hiya folks.. seems jebo stuff is affordable..

can anyone confirm? if its good or bad?

i found PC 110w 2 bulbs (55w each) in a 110W Power Compact Light System for 60ish plus shipping.

It includes a black hood fixture with 2 - 55w Power Compact Jebo bulbs. One bulb is a 10k and one is an actinic. A good high quality fixture with one on/off switch, one cord, internal ballast, an acrylic shield and 110w TOTAL WATTS for fresh or salt tanks.

next... filtration. I was thinking about an affordable HOB filter.. again jebo seems to have some decent ones.. are the comparable to a CPR bakpak?

what about a canister filter? is this one any good..

any advice? tia

regards

from the look of it, it's completely boxed up tight but there is no reflector or fan installed to reduce the heat. you might round up spending more money on burn out bulbs. no leg or anything to support.

just my 0.01

if you talking about the jebo 2003 or jebo 180 skimmer compare to cpr bakpak protein skimmer. certain they are very cheap. i was thinking of getting one myself but after i email to those people who brought it, most of them are satisfy for the price they paid for it

I've seen them on Ebay for very cheap but have the same concerns as Alfani, about them not having any fans. I think if you look around you'll find better lights.

Also I just added T-5 lights and they're so much brighter than PC's. They cost more right now but the bulbs last alot longer. Maybe something that you may want to look at.

Don't go cheap on lights as it will get you in the long run when you have to upgrade because the lights turn out not good enough for what you want.
