I run a Jebao DCT 12000 at 100% on my 300 gal. Its been running since November with no issues. Super quiet and 85 watts at 100%. You could probably get away with running 60-70% and save some power too.

Hey Skimmin, for my 165g (+55g sump) build, do you think I will need the DCT12000, or is that overkill? Maybe I can get away with one model down?

Brian, IMO overkill is good. Always better to have too much than too little. Plus you can always dial it down and/or tee off for reactors, chiller, etc.
