Jebao MDP Smart DC Pump with LCD Display Controller for Saltwater Tank (MDP-3500)

I have my 6000 liter per hour version of this pump plumbed in an external in line main return pump on my 150 gallon aquarium. Set up this way suspended between silicone piping it is close to inaudibly silent unless it is cranked to its highest speed. Even then it is just a slight hum. Everyone who views my aquarium when the cabinet is closed considers it my entire setup completely silent. It would be as quiet or maybe even quieter submerged in a sump setup.I love the adjustability of the speed, low electrical consumption, easy to trigger feeding mode, etc. - it has all the features of pumps 3x its price. I can't comment on the wireless control operation because I've never bothered with it.I measured the output back before I installed it and it was pretty much spot on with the manufacturer specs at its low and high wattage ranges. Obviously it is a bit reduced by all my complicated piping for my tank, but that has zero to do with the pump itself and is just my frictional load on it and I sized appropriately so it delivers right at my target flow ranges.I read a ton before purchasing this pump, and was slightly worried about not going with an expensive name brand (not that Jebao is unknown or anything). I figured if I had to buy two of them over the same period of time I'd still come out ahead on price. I'm not getting the feeling I'll need to at this point. I may buy another soon just to future proof myself against the manufacturer not producing this years down the road when I need to replace mine or just wish I had another.I also agonized looking for a pump I was sure could be used externally in line. Jebao did in some literature I found say it could be, and it proved pretty easy to rig that way. I'm posting this review partially so people can see it is being used that way out in the wild. I built my cabinet to be bathtub-sealed for up to 40 gallons of leakage and have a leak alarm like I'd recommend on any large aquarium setup with lots of plumbing hidden underneath, but there's no indication I need that any more for this pump compared to a Reef Octopus or some other flashier brand.I'm here reviewing now as I'm about to buy one of the smaller versions for a large paludarium build that I'm working on now.Edit - nothing new to say at ~2 years. Fantastic experience with this pump. Still meaning to try the wireless function someday, but I honestly don't really have any use for it.

So far I have been running this for about a month. It is dead silent and very good performance. I was able to connect it to the app. But to be honest, the app is trash. Its not similar to ecotech features of course. Its also good when you buy from amazon and add the 3 year protection, which will give you peace of mind. Just make sure always have a spare pump with you at all the times as things fail over time. . Highly recommend!

Very well built and very powerful. Kenia stepped up Thor game wth this one. Was acutely to big for my system, but very good pump. Would recommend for large applications.

Flow rate, It sends good water pressure, it is complicated to install the Wi-Fi and it only serves to turn it on and off, the control does not provide any information, the app is only cosmetic, it works silently, good price . In the future change for other brand

Running this pump on my 80 gallon 48x24. only running on 24% power and is more than enough. awesome product for the money

Junk don’t waster your money. Jebao power heads are pretty solid and I’ve had excellent luck, but the return pump is life support for the aquarium. You Can’t have this failing under light use. Never even ran over 50% and purposely oversized the pump to make sure it would last.I Should have bought the sicce or fluval instead of throwing away money. And no support at all.

I was excited to checkout this return pump given the luck I’ve had with other products from Jaebo and it did not disappoint.I have this in a 80gal system (60 display 20 sump)It has a ton of variability that allows me to switch it up in almost any way I need, the ease of activating the feed mode is also super awesome!The best part?! This thing is dead silent! I haven’t even had this level of silence from high end pumps.Will definitely reorder if I need a pump in the future.

Works great and comes with many options for connecting hoses! MDP-5000 is too powerful for my Remora Pro Skimmer but on the other hand, can come in handy if you want to "wet" skim to force quicker water changes. Love the ability to open mobile app and click the "Feed" button. Would buy again!

No, e podido configurar el tiempo de paro automático de mi bomba para la alimentación, marca fuera de conección cada vez que lo intento aún estando conectado a la red 2.4 (alguien podría apoyarme)

it includes one fitting for each size of hose, I cannot even use this pump because of this. DO NOT BUY if you want to use as inline pump
