Catfish Lighting?

Anybody have an idea who this company is or who makes their lighting?

I need to do a lighting upgrade on my 30gal tank. I presently have a 36" Coralife Aqualight 42W T5 fixture, but I desperately need more light. I've been looking at 96W PC lighting and this one caught my eye:

Never heard of that one, but looks like a nice setup.

Well, I guess somebody's gonna have to be the guinea pig.

It has to be at least as good at that Odyssea/Jebo stuff on eBay, if not better. I guess it's worth a shot...

That CL unit looks to be a re-badged Jebo.....a Jebo knockoff, how funny is that???

The same seller is also selling the identical Jebo unit for $20 less but there is shipping involved:

I picked one up for $55 shipped w/insurance. I'm going to have them replace the 50/50 bulb with 12000K daylight one.

So has anyone else tried these?

You do know CL has their own website right? http://www.catfishlighting.com/index.html So it's not like some eBay only seller selling these things.

I currently have a CL on a tank. I have been happy with it so far. Seems to be acceptable for the price. About two months is all I have been using it however.

I have one also. I needed to upgrqde y lighting and bought from that seller on ebay. Pretty good seller. One bulb stopped working a week after use but they replaced it no problem. The fixture is fine, has worked great. I got the 2x65w PC with 50/50 bulbs for my 55 and it has never looked better

I was looking at the seller on eBay who had a 1x96w for $73 shipped. Really sounds like a decent deal.

Lep, did you get the 12,000k bulb? How's the color visually?
