Well a alot of pretty bad posts have been made in various web forums
in regards to the china crap peddled / made by JEBO..They can;t make a
pair of light bulbs that match, lights are notorious for having
ballasts erupt into flame, pumps that lock up after a few hours of use
or fail to run at all, protein skimmers that have to be fiddled with
24 hours a day and still produce minimal skim, and a whole host of
other problems..You get what you pay for. I know of a poster that
bought 2 light sets, and out of both of them none worked for more than
an hours time until ballasts started to melt and turn to liquid
tar......They are cheap for one reason, becasue JEBO on thewhole is
acheap of junk that could probably be manufactuered and still have a
slight resemblence of the item discription. I would save many
headaches and wasted return postage and hassles and save some more
money and get a decent unit. Oh you may lluck up and get one that may
work for a bit, but the odds are against you getting anything that
works well or last long.
