anybody using the jebao wp 40 or 25's

[Magma]

I have to throw my $0.02 into this.

I have the Evergrow D120 units, 3 them actually and I LOVE them my corals are happy and noticeable growth within only a few months of use. Yes they are made from China but you know what im happy with them. Not to mention all 3 units cost me less (Shipped to my door) then 1 radion unit...

I just purchased a WP40 from www.reefsupplycanada.com from the group buy im sure its going to be exactly what I want. Every review I have ever seen on them gives them praise for being so well built.

My question is why do all the "Old Timers" need to make us newbie reef junkies feel like we need to go bankrupt to have a tank? Just because that was the norm 10 years ago? 20 years ago? Times have changed and the so have the cost to make products for keeping fish. I cant even count on my hands the amount of times I have seen posts or talked to people about which product would be better and someone with 10 years in the hobby has to chime and say "Only use this product because its what I use!" and the price is double or triple of other brands. It really hits a cord with me when people think price is the only thing that matters.

Im going to use the wp40 on my tank and plan to until it stops working if thats a year or two who knows but im still further ahead trying it rather than letting the rumor mill explode with false info.

I guess I'm probably an "old timer", although I wouldn't suggest not buying these. While I love my Tunze pumps, I'll probably buy a couple of these.

I think the term should have been "brand lovers". I find "old timers" to be more practical in choosing things that "works" instead of just relying on the imprinted names.

Ok maybe Old timer is the wrong choice. Brand Junkie? Im just sick if reading numerous forums (not just canreef) where people who have been in the hobby for a long time, provide information to newbies such as "You should only use Radion LED's because thats what I use and if you cant use those then nothing else will do"

Or even people reading other threads saying this "letter" is now legal action when its all just rumors floating around forums which have been twisted through the power of the internet into this big problem which its really not. But again because these people wont buy a cheaper product because they have to have the brand name. Then they end up projecting there own feelings onto it and twist it even further for the next guy to read even more false information.

Again just my $0.02

Welcome to the internet.

A wise man once shared this with me, it seems the time pass it on.

The ones they have there are just 220volts. There may be some coming available that run on 110v in about a months time

Something from China cannot be ripped off by another Chinese company. So its original

Hint: Apple products come from China. Other generic companies in China reproduces exactly same apple product ripoffs and don't get sued. But when Samsung make a square with round edge phone, they get sued

I'm not really sure why it would be less dishonest for one Chinese firm to steal from another Chinese firm? It's still one group of people stealing from another.

I didn't follow the Samsung case at all so I can't comment there. I'm sure there are generic Chinese knock-offs of Apple products. I would guess that if they tried to market themselves over here Apple would be filing papers fairly quickly. It's hard to sue a company though when the host nation doesn't respect copyright treaties.
