Chiller out should go back into the sump. You don't want cooler water mixing in your tank. At least in the sump it has a chance to mix up a little before going into the DT.

didnt take me too long have even more advanced drawings with my new lighting system and entire cabinet with it. look example below.
also would I reverse the waterflow system blowing away from the overflow? or would that be dumb or no difference?

wouldnt that make for a waste of power of the chiller?
If the water flows back in the sump it would make the temp go up mixing with the main tank water again, then returning it to the main tank it would drive the temp more up again going through the pipes? (living in Thailand) so wouldnt it be difficult for me to maintain a stable temp in my main tank?
just a thought? please advise?

What size tank is this, or did I miss that somewhere? On the chiller thing, I think what the concern would be as at the point where the water returns from the chiller it is going to cause a cold spot or current in the DT. If you put it in the sump it would allow for that water to blend and give you less of a shock factor. Makes since to me.

what?
•You have all your plumbing hard piped. How are you going to isolate different areas of your system if you have to repair and or remove or for routine maintenance.
example completely remove the sump with the skimmer from the system

These types of fittings allow you to have the ability to shut water down and separate your plumbing to do maintenance and such. This is what Joe is speaking about.

I knewwhat he was talking about but is it that important to set that in a drawing like this? I guessin front of every main input output you place one no? Didnt think it was such a detail?

You went into so much details in those drawings that why wouldnt you include it in your drawings. I believe everyone would of thought you was hard plumbing this since it wasnt included. I know I thought the same. Not a biggie but dont smash the guy for helping. Cool drawings though
