And they have electronic ballast and built in timers, and even come with the bulbs. Going to check them out this weekend, since they are local.

 

[Itsmebro]

I know its crazy huh?

Let us know what you think about them..

 

[Itsmebro]

Check out the T5 unit they got too its only 40 bucks...

Their brand name used to be "jebo" and has now changed to "Oddysea"

I use two of the 48" PC's on my FOWLR. I like them, especially for what I paid for them. I have used them for over a year now, without incident and they have since made some improvements, such as cooling fans, a better housing (powder coated aluminum, instead of plastic)

I am considering trying out their T5's and their new line of Metal Halides

Hole cow.. their 24" is only $49!!

I wish I had seen this 2 weeks ago..

 

[Mini4x]

I have a Jebo inline haeter.. super nice thing.. not using it though..

 

[DAVER]

wow, did you see the 48" MH. 2x150 and 4x21w t5 for $329.00. there has to be a catch.

 

[Maldivan]

The catch is........


Its jebo?

 

[DAVER]

so what you are saying is jebo has a less than favorable track record?

 

[Maldivan]

Not at all. What Im saying is that Jebo equipment sells cheaper than the rest of its competitors. If what the above poster said is true that they have changed thier name it stands to reason thats why they are cheaper.

 

[DAVER]

it would be interesting to find out what brand ballast and bulb come with the fixture, i'm in the process of setting up another 72g bow that i was planning on using an old pc fixture for until i saved the money for another mh set up, but, this could be an answer, would love to find some one that is using the jebo mh

 

[capt. insano]

its all chinese made stuff.....bulbs, ballasts, fixture, etc

 

[edwadd]

So are xm and evc arent they? Any problems with either of these?

 

[reef]

It would be great if it came in a dual 250 watt hqi.

 

[Mini4x]

Should I upgrade to this?

Right now I have a AGA Dual Tube that I overdrove, but at best it's pushing 50w or so.. over my 25g.. I hope someday to get a few peices of coral and a BTA for some clowns.

Come both in 2x55w and 2x65w versions too..

 

[Mini4x]

This 'looks' real cool too.. only $25?? with digital controller?

 

[DAVER]

we all need someone with first hand experience. some of these deals are just too tempting to pass up, but, if its real junk its not a deal at all.

 

[capt. insano]

daver

as I posted above....have used some of their stuff for over a year now....works great

The only knocks seem to be that the bulbs may not be the exact color temperature that they claim to be, but they still work great and the bulbs, if you so choose, can be replaced

 

[s1xtyfe3t]

the 24" is now on sale for $39

I may try out on of their 520 skimmers. for only $50 if it works it's a deal.
