Return pump question

[kwandrsn]

I just bought a 57 gallon setup with a 20 gallon sump. Included was a lifeguard quiet one 3000 return pump... I disassembled the pump to clean it and noticed the magnet has a big crack and is kinda swelled looking... pump seems to still work

I was thinking about ordering a jebao return as soon as I can afford it. The ones with the control pad.

What is your guys thoughts and recommendations... I really like the idea of having a dv pump with controller.

What size pump should I order?

They are excellent pumps. I have the dc12000 on my 180. Runs 3 returns and 4 reactors. Maybe dc 6000 for your tank. Depends on head and such. You can always dial it down

Anyone know anything about controlling the jebao dc pumps with a reef keeper
