its a bit underpowered in my opinion. May work if turn-over is its only job, but look elsewhere if you want to feed chiller and media reactor from the same source.

Mine too had developed a leak from the body. Not an issue when submerged but sprays outside the sump if water level drops enough, thus is a threat I need to address soon.

Buy a "good" pump or buy two shitty ones so you can have a replacement handy for when the shitty one burns out/leaks.

We have two of these running in shop, one on each 180g frag tank. We have had two power supplies go out on us since may. Other than that overall fairly happy.

I've had mine since it came it. No problems, just got stuck once with a hermit crab

I'm running a Aqua Excel for 8 months now and dead silent. Unlike the Jebao the Aqua Excel have a 1 year warranty.
