Which DC Jebao return pump would you get for a 50 gallon shallow peninsula with a 20 gallon sump? DCP 3500? Sump is 3 feet below tank. I'm doing mostly a mixed reef with only a couple easier SPS so no crazy high flow or anything. Also I can't find what size fittings it uses. 1" or 3/4"? It's difficult to tell if the DCP is Jebao's newest DC pump or if there's a newer one out as well.
 
Sounds like a fine pump for a tank your size.

  • Hose Fitting: 1" and 3/4", PVC fitting: 1-1/4" & 1-1/2"

I use the DCP-3000 on my 40 breeder with 20long sump and I have it on the lowest settings. The lowest it can go is 30.

So that should work for you. I don't use direct pvc on it. I use flex tubing to barb connect. But either 3/4 or 1 inch should work.

I think the newest jebao is DCQ. But you might want to keep away from that one. The older version seem to last longer
