Hi all. Which method of running the water through the chiller is reccomended? which results in less kick in timing?

Method 1: Main Tank ---> Chiller ---> Main Tank

Method 2: Sump Tank ---> Chiller ---> sump tank

Method 3: Main Tank ---> Chiller ---> Sump Tank

Method 4 : Sump Tank ---> Chiller ---> Main Tank

once again

sump tank last compartment --> chiller --> Main tank --> sump tank

I'm using Method 2. The chiller pump and return from the chiller is at the last compartment of the sump. This compartment is also where the return pump for the main tank is located.

Ohj no..so many different methods. .But does it take long for you to chill your tank and does the chiller kick in often..Thanks

Yeah, I think most people use method 4.

Hmm.. Think I'd better change my chiller pump to the last compartment of my sump. In my last compartment of sump, there's already the return pump & skimmer.

in fact, the idea will be skimmer at the first, refuge at 2nd, return pump/chiller pump at the last

I think the pump not that important where it is placed..It's from the chiller that you have to direct the flow to the last compartment.
