So last night I got home to a tripped GFI. Everything was fine with the tank but it seems my main pump was creating a problem. It is a Reeflo Blowhole 1100, I will test to see what is up with the pump later.
I decided to put the Jabeo I had lying around and it is not a half bad pump. I am using it external as I hate to put my main pumps in sump. There are 2 leaks out of the pump from the housing and they are not even visible, they have to be smaller than a pinhole. You can only get it to leak while running. I plan to silicone the holes up since it is a little slow leak. Other than the leaks the pump pushes water pretty well. I inlet at 1" and outlet 3/4" and cannot set this pump on high going through 4 elbow and reducing to 1/2" before entering the tank. Heat transfer seems to be next to nothing as my heater is kicking on way more than normal. It is almost as if the average temperature drop about a degree and possibly closer to 2 but I will know more in a day or 2.
Aside from plumbing I used the ReefAngel cable and connected to my apex, now I can totally mess with my fish.
Anyone else using the Jabeo DC pumps? Internal or external?
