Question What size pump?

I just picked up one of these for my 30g.

What size pump do I need for the 1/15? Would a MJ1200 be enough? Thanks.

Well, the recommended flow on that chiller is 300-500 gph. The MJ 1200 may be OK, but the flow will be lower than recommended, depending on your plumbing and flow loss due to friction.
