My Tank Thread
I've heard that Ecotech's modern wet-side panels last for several years, is that right?
I've heard that Jebao's don't last very long.
Not my experience with Ecotech wetsides. I watched the price increase and the life expectancy go down. MP40 wetsides are now $120!!!! At one time I had eight MP40's and I don't know how many MP10's. I can't even begin to guess how many wetsides I've purchased, going through wetsides faster than I change underwear, I tried Jebao wetsides. I purchased two Jebao 40 wetsides that fit perfectly with Ecotech drysides, and worked until one did the similar crack and swell magnet thing...maybe at 8-10 months. I'm now down to three MP40's running with one wetside a Jebao. I'm done with Ecotech! Just contemplating what wetsides I want to go with. Thinking Jebao conventional powerheads. Their entire powerhead with controller is less than a single Ecotech wetside...maybe SLW or ELW powerheads. If I get two years out of them, I'm ahead of the game.
