Sump Pump for 4ft Tank - Oase? Jebao?
 

hi all,

recently, i got the Jebao DC9000 for my 4ft tank .. it was running well for a year and a half but this week i noticed that the flowrate has decreased...

looks like i may have to change the pump soon..

its been awhile since i kept up with the current models/brands and im not sure what to get as a solid replacement for this pump. i was thinking of the Oase Optimax and its touted to be made in germany..

anyone have thoughts on this? or is there another brand i should look into?

You tried removing the pump and gushing the propeller with strong water ?
:D

nope, not yet. thanks for the tip. will try during my next WC :D

Dc pump are not lasting. My dc pumps after 1.5 yrs all start to fail. Now dont dare buy dc pump liao

If budget allows, get an Eheim. Costly at first but definitely reliable and efficient.

I am pretty sure many keepers here use Eheim.

I myself have currently more than 10 Eheim filters, including internal filters, external canister filters and pump.

oase is a good brand, u can try rio pump too. its from taiwan. price is good and well build. energy saving too
