humm... in term of price and lighting wise i don see DIY any better than jebo. One disadvantage of using Jebo compare to DIY is finding of replacement parts.Originally Posted by christmaslovebird
Quite confuse which set to decide for 4 X 2 X 2 tank . I need 4 X 54 W T5 .
Jebo 4ft T5 4 x54 w vs DIY T5 2x 54W with own relfector .
Price : Jebo ( $150 ), DIY ( $120 )X 2 = $240
Watt : Jebo 4 X 54 W with casing ; DIY 2 X 54 W w/o casing
In term of lighting , will the DIY T5 set better than jebo ?
Is it worth it to get two set of DIY T5 than one set of Jebo ?

Well, I suggest you do not get the Jebo lightset. I am using a 3ft T5 lightset now and I only use it for less than 2 months and the reflector has already have problems. It sorts of wrap around the tube.Originally Posted by christmaslovebird
Anyone has this problem and have solutions to it?
I am still thinking how to fix the reflector.
FYI, I'm using DIY 2x54W T5HO tubes with parabolic reflectors suspended 2ft over a 4x2ft area. The HC, chendol grass, Jap HG, mini pellia, riccia, fissiden, and willow moss are thriving.

Hi crandf , you means 4 (L)X 2(B) X 2(H) tank . one set of DIY 2 X 54 W T5 HO is goood enough to grow those plant you mentions ?
hi crandf, that is very interesting to hear that you use only 2x54 W HO ? and hang over 2 Ft. Do you mind to share your tank pics

It went thru a bad algae attack recently when I lost all my common sense and decided to dose more and more nutrients. After going back to low level dosing(maintaining 10ppm NO3, 1ppm PO4, 0.3ppm Fe), everything is recovering nicely and plants are pearling again.
