Problem with new Jebao DCP-2500 return pump

[Ravenous117]

Hey guys,

I am pretty new to the hobby so bare with me. I currently have a JBJ AIO 45 gallon and I wanted to upgrade my stock water pumps to a Jabeo DCP-2500. One problem however, the returns on the tank are for a 1/2 inch and the pump doesn't have an adapter for a 1/2 inch hose.

Does anyone know where I can find a adapter for this pump or another way to plumb the tank to make it work?

Thanks!

It should have came with a 3/4" off the pump. Go to any hardware store and get a 3/4'' to 1/2" reducer. You may have to get a small piece of 3/4'' hose then get a 3/4'' to 1/2" barbed reducer and run 1/2'' tubing to return. Unless you plan to hard plumb. Either way they make reducers for pretty much and size pipe or hose.
