Looks like average dc return pump I personally love the dc return pumps. Check jabeo dct pumps on eBay may save you some money.

Pump is for a 130 gal with a 50 gal sump/refugium with approx. 4-5' of head height, which size would you recommend?

Depends on the overflow and what it's rated at you want it to flow a little slower then the flow it can handle for noise reasons lol. That's a beautiful thing with the dc pumps they're ability to control flow better I use a 1300 gph pump on our 40 b with a 29 sump but it's only half way up and feeds 3 reactors without issues. Our overflow handles 1200gph I'm running about 720gph return flow.

I have a Jabeo DC pump and would not change it out for anything!

Look at aqualink acrylic design products for the overflow box. Great guys and products.

I think I would need to get two of the 2110-Longs. Would the Jaebao dct-12000 be to strong to two of these overflows?

dc12000 means you never have to worry about upgrading your pump. just turn it down on the controller and youre good.

It should be fine for the two overflows.

It should be fine for the two overflows.

These overflows are rated at 550 gph, x2 would be 1100. So if the flow was to strong even at low setting, would I be able to put a inline valve to slow it down further? Or is that bad for pumps?

Common practice on AC pumps. In effect adds extra head pressure. Not sure the adjustment intervals of your dc pump, but I'm sure you get it to work.
