I have a 240g with a bean animal 1.5" overflow and was planning on 1" return line. I have $100-$150 to spend. I was looking at the jebao sine wave pumps but I'm not sure about the style ie..DCQ, DCP,DCT etc...
I'm looking for about 1000ish gallons at 6' head height. I'm not stuck on the jebao brand but for the $ they look good. I was looking to run it internal in my sump to help with heating the water since this tank is in the garage. any other brands that you guyt would recommend I look at?
 
I am interested to see what others have to say here because I too was looking at jebao and wondering about which style as well!

I have a danner 1200 supreme mag drive and a Rio 3100 both in a 55gal tote sump for my 300 gallon, and I think I want to replace the Rio but don't think my drains could keep up with another danner 1200 and it's way more loud then the Rio, not just the vibration on the bottom of the sump.

I have two dcs2000 and dcs3000 pumps and two dcq10000 and im really happy with all of them. Running the dcq pumps for two large trickle filters and the small dcs pumps in 3 different sumps. One sump is in my livingroom about 1.5m from my couch and its dead silent.

My link, they have head height and GPH in the description. They are roughly 10 ft. The lowest setting on the pumps is roughly 40-45% as an FYI.

what is the difference between the dcs and dcq?

The only difference i can think of is the dcq has a wave function that dcs dont have and the dcq has more head hight. I think the dcs has 2.5m head and dcq has 5m head. They shure does move water. In my sumps i have about 1.5m head and for the trickle filter about 1m so i dont lose that much pressure

well what I meant is a they don't show a chart of head vs gph. most pumps usually state max head height and max flow. max flow is at 0 head height and the gph drops off the higher it pumps water obviously. I'll look at the dcs I don't need a wave function. thanks for all your help!
