Amazing kelberi. I always have extra love for kelberi.

Those jebao pump are amazing. I have the dct 12000. I would advise having a spare rio just in case the jebao controller go out. I read that is a weakness with these jebao pump.

You are probably using less than 105w if you don’t have it dial all the way up on that pump.

What's the flow rate at 5' and at 10' head?

How much was it?

105 watt is amazing. I couldn't believe it.
Specs

  • Model - DCT 15000
  • Size - 18.2cm x 10.4cm x 12.8cm - 9" L x 4.7" W x 8.7" H
  • Flow - 4750 - 15000 l/h (up to 3900 gph)
  • Max Height - 5m - 16.9ft
  • Hose Connector - 1.5" NPT and includes 2 - 1", 1.25", 1.5" barbed fittings
  • Wattage - DC24V 105W

my oldest daughter and i just ran the controllers for the heater and sump to the outside side of the tank stand. just have to bunch the wires together to make it look clean and bam. so much easier then having them inside of the stand.

How much is a heater controller like that? How does it calibrate how hot the tank is? Is there a probe attach?

Check These on amazon. these are what i what. theres a probe that checks water temp and u set your desired temp. so whenever it drops it auto fixes it. say power goes out or u turn off the controller/heater during a wc the controller has memory built it in and stays at the temp u set it at.
