Question:

can a JEBAO DCP-5000 Sine wave DC Pump would be enough for the return on a 85 gallon reef tank? is 5000 litre/hr (1320 gal/hr)

the tank will have about 5.5ft head and the pump is rated for 4.0 meter (13 ft head)

Absolutely..
I run the dcp6500 on an 80g tank and run it at 30%..5000 would be just fine at like 50-60% or so..
