Hello guys, I am using Redsea reefer 250. The sump is ready-made. My question is how do I connect chiller to my aquarium?

I am planning to connect it this way:
1. Return pump goes into chiller inlet
2. Chiller outlet goes back to return manifold on thr overflow.

If it works, do I need extra pump on the chiller outlet?

My pump output is 2500L/hr and my chiller flowrate is 250-1000L/hr

Thanks.
 
You have two choices.....

1. Get a separate pump just for the chiller....rated for what the chiller needs.

2. Tee off your return line and put a valve on that line so you can cut the flow rate to where it needs to be.
