You need a pump to feed the chiller somewhere in the plumbing.

Hahha someone just ask me that.. and no.. How stupid am I.. huh.. So then One pump is good??? Just from tank water to pump to chiller.. and from chiller hose to tank.. is that correct?? Since I have a Ehiem 1262 sitting here, can I use that one?? Or is that too strong? I have a 30 finnex tank...
Thanks |

WELL..... ROOKEY MISTAKE....SORRY...I had to say it. Bleave it or not...A Lot of people think that the Chiller has a pump in it....NOT...
Check the min GPH that the Chiller needs & buy the pump as needed,

you will want 420–720gph for flow in that size chiller, BTW why is the temp set so low at 74?
