Return pumps

[Gastonreef]

I have a eheum 1260 on my 34 rimless with a manifold. Like to upgrade my pump too one of the Jebao DCT Series Submersible Return Pump, but I don't know what size to go with.

You will only need the smallest one, the DCT-4000, I believe. I have a DCT-6000 on my 125 gallon system, and I run it about 30-40% of full power before I start having issues with overloading the drains to the sump. You will need to have it dialled back to maybe 10 or 20% of full scale.

DCT-4000 on a 40b at about 40% I think. Its been good for the last 18 months with out a problem. 1 inch return with a brs carbon reactor "t" off it.

I have a brs carbon reactor, uv light, gfo reactor and going to get a bio pellets reactor soon that's why I looking at those return pumps and try to find the size

DCT-4000 should be plenty of pump for all of your needs.
