Cheapo Jebo = Cheapo performance.

I have heard nothing but bad things when people buy those.

IMO I would go with the 75. I like the dimensions better.

2 175s or 2 250s

Just like the subject line says, I am wondering between the 2 lights. Mh of course

2x175 would be 350W or 7.6w per gallon
2x250 would be 500W or 10.87W per gallon.

I want to run 10 - 14Ks....
