Found this....looks extremely promising for those who can't afford a vortech

At 150 they are a 100 cheaper than an mp 10 , directional like a tunze , but also designed and made in china and honestly for that reason alone i would stick with something i know . If it nuked my tank because of chemical leaching or stray voltage id be pretty ticked.

Well my only complain is the price. Like you have mentioned, $100 extra and you are getting a much better insurance.

I was expecting it to be like $80-$100; then it would look appealing. But still, hats of the the chinese market; they are just making this hobby affordable

Interesting. Looks like what would happen if a hot looking MP40 went out, got plastered and made some bad choices with a smooth talking Tunze resulting in a love child. I'm sure both of them would regret the evening and be wondering how they could let such a thing happen.

isnt that more a tunze 6055 then a vortech....one of the biggest selling feature of the vortech line is the fact that there is no electricity (wires) in the tank. Looks to me like Tunze, so still Chinese cant recreate the vortech

The reef crest is vortech's innovation. Tunze can't do that.

They have recreated some of the special affects of vortech and not the look. Like Kien said, its the love child. Maybe the second one will have the look of vortech

Based on flow, these seem more comparable to an MP-40.

One of the forums on Manhattan Reefs claims there is already a mod for these so that they can be controlled by an Apex.

I have sent them an email requesting a quote for shipping. The pumps are MRPed for like $30 or something! Now that is a tag I like and people using it are loving it.

Jebao is no generic brand and they have been in the market for a long time and their pumps are quite popular. So I will give it a try
