pretty cool, but its jebo, so it may be bad. but its good for smaller tanks, 100w

I almost bought this, but ended up buying a 200w Hydor instead..

I am not sure if I would trust that company.... But I do have some stuff UV's that seem to work fine.... Its a little gamble..

HAha!!!! I just bought the same thing, from the same ebay seller!!! How funny!

I haven't used mine yet, because of what I've read about Jebo, and the fact that they aren't UL listed (that's not good)

However, everything bad that I've read about the company was about their light fixtures catching fire. But I have not read anything bad about their heaters. I'm still undecided...

Jebo is by far the best Chinese Crap Equipment manufacturer.

I have a Jebo canister filter with modified inflow and outflow connections. I modified them one sunny day when the connections literally fell apart. The material itself disintegrated! Think water getting to dry bread - that is how the plastic looked. I cannot explain why I didn't trash the entire filter - I love the Jebo brand I guess!

It's hard to beat Jebo's low quaility. I'd trust them for my inline equipment any day! It's so much fun to vacuum aquarium water out of a carpet!

all I've seen was about the OLD MH fixtures with magnetic ballasts.

I have a friend that has an Odyssea 260w PC fixture that has outlasted 2 Coralife and 1 Catalina PC fixtures I've owned.And a guy down the street has an Odyssea T5 running since they came out with it no troubles at all.
all 3 of the PC fixtures look like they come from the same factory

I got rid of my Odyssea PC fixture ASAP- it was HOT, hummed, and just made me nervous.

I'd definitely would want to run a temp controller when using one of those. It seems like if the thermostat is too cheap it could go at anytime...

I have Jebo/Odyssea canister that has run trouble free for 2.5 yrs now.

Looks like a definite Hydor copy. But, my experience with this company's products has not been good (lights - HOT, and UV sterilizers - casing leaked). I wouldn't think twice about buying a Jebo product like a fish net or a bubble counter - something without electronics - no worries. Heaters, filters and lights are items I do not skimp on.

I've had a Hydor ETH 300 running for 4 years. Not one problem - temp is always spot on where I set it. For $50, I consider that a steal.
