Jebao Dc powered pump

Where is the best place to order a DC12000 from?

 

[Sacohen]

I would probably say Fish-Street, unless you can find a group buy.

 

[Brando457]

Just found that fish-street as a us warehouse in NJ $14 shipping instead of $41. To say I am excited is an understatement.

 

[Sacohen]

Yeah they have had that since at least the beginning of the year.

 

[Brando457]

My apologies I just discovered it today.

 

[Sacohen]

Nothing to apologize for.

 

[Brando457]

I plan on doing a manifold off my DC12000, any recommendation what size to run from the output of the pump?

 

[Sacohen]

I would go as large as the pump will allow, then go down as you branch off and put a valve on each branch to adjust it as you need to.

 

[horseplay]

anyone actually tried the dc 12000 with 10' head? what is the flow rate?

Question for the pump, mine came with 2 barb things like this. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd462/dukester_/IMG_4785.jpg

If I wanted to put vinyl tubing for the output should I cut off the tip that isn't the right size? or do I just slide the vinyl tube over it and clamp it where it'd be snug?

 

[Sacohen]

That has got to be the stupidest set up I've ever seen.
If you cut them off and then want to go back to a smaller size for a different tank or something can you or are you screwed?

 

[Brando457]

That is why I am asking, it would make sense to have the output hole be the same size as the tube you use, but then it also makes sense if you just shove the tube down til it reaches the proper size.

I know it is kind of a silly question, but I don't know the answer.

 

[Sacohen]

I've never seen that. My DC-6000 came with individual fittings.

you cut of the tip not used or you just have a restriction. Chances are you won't be reducing the size of your return line.

I was looking and it seems some people go to straight pvc from it using a threaded adapter to flex, i think im going to do that.

 

[Sacohen]

That's what I'm going to do
I found that an 1 1/4" threaded female coupling fits the DC-6000 perfectly

 

[Brando457]

I used the pump tonight to drain my 180 gallon tank, all I have to say is I am very impressed. If I didn't see the water flowing from the tube I would never have known the pump was running.

 

[Brando457]

Today I spent an embarassing amount of time in lowes, but thankfully I went with a diagram and well from the diagram my manifold came to life.

5 ports w/ 1/2" barb and then one port w/ 3/4" barb to my display.

I went from the pump outlet 1.5" threaded to 1" slip then to 1" Tees that go down to 1/2" outlets.

I calculated with the 1" Tees that it will be plenty of flow to my 2 reactors, fuge, and display for my 3000 gph pump.

 

[Brando457]

DC12000 all plumbed and connected: running 2 reactors, fuge, display

I have a dc 6000 and the 1.5" pvc female thread adapter will not screw on. Neither will my 1" flex pvc fit any of the barb adapters! I don't know what to do.
