Looks like Jebao is going the way of Bubble Magus and trying to expand their Chinese made line into skimmers as well:

For anyone who doesn't know, the last generation of DC pumps that Reef Octopus used in their mid-high end skimmers WERE re-badged Jebao pumps. At under $300 for a 200g capable skimmer this skimmer is going to be a KILLER deal. Only issue will be warranty coverage, but I believe Jebao is likely to start providing real warranties, they are already doing MAP pricing (like CoralVue, Ecotech, Neptune, etc.), and rumor has it they are looking for a dedicated US distributor (like CoralVue for Octopus/Maxspect).
