Your tank is approximately 540L

Jebo 828 is 1200L/hr
Jebo 835 is 1000L/hr

So its about 4 1/4 of your tank volume gets circulated an hour

For myself i circulate it 6 times an hour.

Eheim canister is popular due to spares easily available. Recently after years serving well my 2028 leaking. Still can find and replace the gasket.
If not for the lack of space I would get a 2260 and convert to 2262 cos a have a spare 1262 pump.
