Well I guess when you're flipping a bird a day you have to spend it on something. Cant just put it in a bank without some questions being asked.

Hey DB with your water chiller did you need to buy an additional pump for it?

My plan is to go from 3/4" inline filter to the 3/4" inlet for the chiller and 3/4" outlet that drops back into my Tidy Cat.... Think that'll work? Pump too small to circulate water chiller and nutes?

The correct way to set those up is to have it pump straight from the res to the chiller and then from there to whatever you're running it to then back to the res.

I don't see why I can't pump water through the water filter, through the pump, into the chiller, and out the chiller and dump into the res.

you also gotta move the heat produced by the chiller. Even in an igloo cooler if I don't exhaust the heat produced by the chiller my temps get up around 70.So the exhaust runs 24/7.

This is a fucking nightmare. My 800 GPH is gunna push water too fast through the chiller. Does the chiller have its own pump?

no the chiller doesn't and that pump is a little large for the task I think. I'm running a 300 gph pump on mine.

You'll get it, I have faith. Plus if you don't get it you fail and we can't have that.

I have (1) 800 GPH that moves my RDWC setup now. I need to add a chiller. I have no experience on what I will need other than a $300 chiller. Easiest way?
