Jebao DCP return pump?

[Mr. Comer]

Mine is still running perfect...

Just ordered the DCP-5000. I hope it's as silent as claimed. Are there any flow charts available for this pump? I couldn't find any.

Can these pumps be run externally?

Yes.

So just picked up a DCP15000 and I think it may be too large for my tank.

I have a 150g with a 40g sump. Thoughts? Should I return for the DCP10000?

Can’t you dial it down? I was always under the impression that it’s better to get a bigger pump and dial it down than it is to get a smaller pump and run it on high.

Yes, it can be dialed down. I want a larger pump than needed, but this may be WAY overkill. I may just roll with it.

I run a 12000 on a 75 gal tank at setting 4.....just dial it down, you'll be fine.....there is head pressure too, that will slow it down a bit

Maybe I need to run turn it up a bit...LOL

This is replacing a 12000 that I run at 3!!!

 

[outssider]

i'm running 5.5' of head, I think that slows it down considerably.

Just got my DCP 4000 today but mine doesn't have the controller with the display like I'm seeing you guys have. Did I get duped or something? Here is a pic of the pump that was in the box. It looks to be the same as what you guys have. All the writing is in English on the pump itself and it says DCP 4000 right on it.


Below is a picture of the controller on the box which matches the controller that I received. You'll see on the controller that it does state in English that it is for the DCP 4000 with sine wave technology. However it's just not what I'm seeing you guys having. Keep in mind that I have no issue with this controller as I am going to set and forget the settings. However my only concern is will it harm the pump or cause any functions not to work such as the auto power shut off with no water?

Nope that is the latest pump/controller. I have the same but 8000 running on my new 44gal SPS tank, it's a beast.

Well that's a relief LOL. And den brother that's a lot of flow on a 44. I'm assuming your sump is some ways away

you got the right controller for your pump.
The one with the display starts with dcp5000 model and up.
The dcp5000 pump itself it quite larger than the 4000.
The pump size for dcp5000-10000( or maybe 12000) is exactly the same size.

so yeah, if you wanted the ability to control in increments of 1, then you should get the DCP5000. the lower models you can only control in 10 steps.

Ok thanks. I'm ok with 10 steps at a time. Tank is a 40b with a 20 sump. Any recommendations on how high I should run the settings?

 

[themummra]

Recommended size for a 40breeder with 40g sump? The powerhead I have from them works great and I'd like to try a pump out

No it was the middle ground for price and enough flow if I want to run my Algae Scrubber, and a few reactors if needed. I'm currently only running it as a return at 35% , SPS like lots of flow.

 

[Mr. Comer]

My pump is still running great. I think I'll clean it for the first time this weekend.

first time since you started this thread back in 8/2016?
impressive.
