Jebo

Has anyone ever used jebo products? I was thinking of getting a skimmer from them but I keep hearing that you get what you pay for and the are cheap price wise. Anyone have any experience with this brand name? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Bill

i would spend the extra cash and buy a better skimmer maybe a berlin in my opinion i think a good skimmer can make this hobby much easier so i would not skimp on the skimmer..just my opinion

I haven't seen the Jebo skimmers, but the lighting was pretty iffy in my opinion. I'd go for a CoraLife SuperSkimmer or perhaps a BakPak. They are fairly inexpensive and can also sometimes be found used.

I have no experience with them, since I started I have used ASM skimmers. I would highly recommend a ASM. Rods Reef is selling a skimmer very much like ASM but cheaper.

here is my opinion on jebo skimmers they are junk after 2 monthes no matter how well you maintain them. but for the first 2 monthes i thought i got a good skimmer for the price. now i got an ASM G2 and really love it.

I just bought my 12 yr old a jebo bow-front AGA aquarium,18 gal, filter and light in hood for his b-day. He picked it out. Thought it looked cool. Must admit it does. It's his second FW tank (first was a 5 gal with gold fish). IMHO if quality is the same in the skimmers i wouldn't buy it. The thing is cheap and poorly designed. I figure if he needs a better filter i can always build one later with a new canopy.

just my 3 cents
