Jebao power heads: too many models, help!

[maevepotter]

Can someone talk me through which Jebao to get? I have a 40b with soft coral, LPS, nems, and just tried out two SPS acro/stylos that I'm worried for. Need to increase flow. What would be best and cheapest for me?

I saw the SOW is the newest? I would hope to have the possibility of it working on larger tank in future. I am also interested in the gyre wavemakers.

Are these meant to imitate vortech?

Thanks so much

Best and cheapest don't go together. Buy a jeabo (any model) and take care of. Frequently cleanings will extend the life. I would say 1-5 years is how long you can expect to get out of it. There are only minor changes between models. I have an RW that is still working great.

I have 2 PP8's and a CP-150 in our 6' 125g. We had a failure at 18 months and Amazon credited 90%. No complaints here.

Thanks for your replies.... I meant best and cheapest given my size tank....

Anyone else that's gotten these or done comparison shipping with other affordable brands? Which model should I go for?
