Chiller Plumbing
Hello fellow reefers! Just curious how everyone has their chillers plumbed? Tee'd off the return, manifold or a secondary pump? Pictures would be appreciated, just trying to get an idea of what works best and is aestetically pleasing, much appreciation in advance.

IF you have enough flow through the return it can be done that way.
Most just run Teed off the main pump I think. Sorry no pics.

When I ran my chiller ( mh and vho lighting), I used a dedicated pump just for the chiller.
This allowed me to fine tune the required amount of flow for the chiller, and worked as a second return pump, should the main pump fail. It never did, but it added peace of mind.
