Question?
I have 1/10 hp chiller from my old tank and wonder if I should
Use it with the system
Get a bigger chiller
Or just disregard the chiller
I really want to get everything done now before I starting adding water in because really once you have water in you really can't go back no more
Please advise

Wow!

I wouldn't use the chiller, depending on where you live you shouldn't need one. Because reef tanks should be around 80-82 degrees. All you should need to do is install some fans into the canopy, blowing over the top of the water. That should keep your tank low enough.

Sequence ReefFlo Hammerhead 5800pgh for a 3600gph Dart Pump
