Can someone please help me with plumbing

[PerplexyHexy]

Im absolutely scared to plumb my reefer xl 425... I am currently running a bectra L1 that runs through my jbj chiller then to the reefer return. Then running a vectra S1 to my refugium... All plumbed with rubber tubing. I also have 2 aquamaxx media reactors that I would like to plumb inline. Should the L1 be used for the reactors, chiller and return? Or reactors and return and the S1 to the chiller then the refugium? I have no idea... I really am clueless on what to do. Ive looked at others plumbing, but cant figure out what to do. The jbj chiller has barbed fittings... So thats kind of where im stuck on that one... is there a way to switch those fittings on that unit... I know I sound like a weenie, but Im really scared to plumb this thing... pictures do not show the way I have it currently hooked up...

A good place to start is with desired flow rates. What’s the recommended flow rate through the chiller and the reactors?

My gut says to use the S1 to drive the stuff in the sump and just use the L1 for the return.

Thats what I figured... the only issue is hard plumbing the S1 to the chillers... like I said, it has barbed fittings on the in and outlets... not sure if they have pieces you can replace with those... I cant find anything... if thats the case then Im gonna have to use runner tubing which I wanted to get away from

You can pick up flex hose to PVC adapters at the home store. You’d be looking for MPT to hose barb.
