    3 - its kinda loud - on the waterbox and IM tanks, thats one of the places they save money - I always swap them out.

    How is the DCS-1200 pump going as it's been over 1.5 years since you did the video? I have a Waterbox Peninsular Mini 25 and installed a 1.0 SiCCA pump that has a high flow but very noisy and because of the high flow any restrictions from the sock or middle chamber can run the pump dry. Looking at changing it the DCS-1200 what are your thoughts?

      My jebao was very loud after a few months. I put in a hydor 185gph and it was silent

    You head pressure is more like 4inchs. Head pressure starts at the water level of the return chamber. Lower the water more head pressure, higher the water less head pressure. But great little pump love jabeo equipment.

    • @BillyPipes

    Hi Billy ... the DCS 1200 installed yesterday ... boahhhh it screams as loud as a turbine.

    Is this return pump quieter and will it fit the 10? Will it be too much in the the 10?

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      I think it would be too much for the 10. Not sure of the size of the chamber so not sure if it would fit

    Not that it matters but the head pressure should be calculated from the water level in your return section.

  • @Harolddespui
    @Harolddespui 3 года назад

    What i've done with my Waterbox pump is to let it float slightly above the bottom. It is way more quiet than on it's rubber feet ánd you can take it out in a second if you want. Simply cut an inch of the hose and then the pump flows a little above the bottom. It hangs on the hose. To avoid that it touches a sidewall and becomes noisy i glued a piece of tank underlay mat under the rubber feet slightly bigger than the pump circumference. The pump cant touch a sidewall anymore.

    • @BillyPipes

    Hey mate, I have a watebox 20 with a sicce silent 1.0 that creates a lot of vibration noise. How do you rate the noise with the jebao on this tank? Thanks

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      The jebao was loudy also. I ended up using a hydor 185 gph pump that had suction cup feet which is what i think is the key to it being quiet 👍

  • @iberne6489
    @iberne6489 4 года назад

    Nice upgrade. I wish you did this with a tank with two return nozzles. Finding a Y adapter to attach one pump was a headache for me. I got it tho but I had to do this ugly a$$ diy cutting of hoses to attach one pump to the right size nozzle and Y adapter. See? It's even hard to explain exactly what I did.

    • @BillyPipes
