Jebao DCS6000 or DCS6000 for 75 gallon reef tank? any suggestion? ( overflow box is modular 1600 gph LOW PROFILE Overflow Box)

Do you mean DCS6000 or DCS8000, because you listed the same pump. I am using a DCP-8000 on my 75 and have it turned to 45% running dual returns. I always like to oversize the pump so I don't have to run it at 100%. This makes them quieter and IMO makes them last longer.

sorry 4000 or 6000 i meant

In that case, I would go 6000. I think the 4000 would work, but you would be pushing it at 100%.

good point. thanks i dont have space for 8000. will get 6000 then.
also how quiet the pump?

 

[lpsouth1978]

At higher speeds it has a slight hum, but is dead silent at anything under about 75%.

I use this pump on my 80 gallon tank. It has a 1-10V connection if you want to manage it with an Apex or Profilux computer. I use 1" plumbing with four 90 and four 45 degrees elbows, 2 m pipes and a lift height at around 1 m and get around 600-700 g GPH from it in real life. It is a turnover around 10 times an hour. It is - IMO - a better pump compared with the DCS serie (I use a DCS pump before for more than 3 years without problems - i should not complain but this newer model feels better). There is in the 6000 range too. I recommend to use at least 1 " plumbing at the pressure side - maybe more if you use an 6000 model
