Anyone try this pump from Jebao? Know the lowest flow rate?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A2BTOHFM8YUTTM

Need a new return pump (current one is to small), and would like it to be controllable, and this one will probably be great, but overpowered. Im sure it goes below 300 GPH, but I cant find that anywhere. Dont wanna spend 70 bucks on a pump that's to strong.

I had the bigger dct12000 version for 3ish years running constantly at 70 percent without problems on my reef. I bought a backup with it and never needed to replace it. Also have a smaller version on my pond for a waterfall in the backyard for 2 years with no issues there either. That being said..jebao is hit or miss, I had powerheads from them and 7 of 7 died within a year.

Jebao doesn't make the best pumps, but IMHO the return pumps are OK. You may have one fail, but 2 are still cheaper than one of the other brands of DC pumps.

They said that the min flow rate is 1200 L/H about 317 GPH. My overflow is only rated for 300, but with the head height and actual performance, im sure this pump will be well below 300 for the min. Shouldn't be a problem. Im hoping to upgrade the overflow in the next month or so, so it will be better soon anyways.

I think ill give this Jabeo pump a shot! I have a jabeo wavemaker that works well, so hopefully i continue to get the good stuff lol
