Aqua Euro 1/10 Chiller

I just set up this chiller and I have a few concerns. I Used a mag 9, with 1/2" lines, but I am not sure the chiller is getting enough flow. I plumbed it in-line with my sump and tank... the pressure comming out in the tank is moderate, but not as strong as my maxi 1200. The chiller needs about 400gph... do you think it is getting it? That means 400gph on the input, and then the chiller adds alot of head pressure right? What do you guys think?

I am not real sure where the maxi 1200 comes into play. If you have a mag 9 as the return pump and the only head loss is the elevation to the tank and the chiller, I think you should be good.

I was just using the 1200 as a point of reference.
