I have a jbj 1/3 chiller. Planning on tieing the chiller in to my eheim 1262 return pump. Will this be enough flow going through the chiller or should I have a seperate supply pump for the chiller, and if so what would you recommend. It is 5 ft from the return pump to the top of tank. Planning on the chiller being located about 10 feet away from the tank. If that doesnt work it will be about 2 feet from tank. What would your recommendations be. Also would you go from sump to sump or from sump to tank.

It should be fine. That chiller calls for minimun of 480gph through the chiller. With that head pressure, I would just make sure by the time it makes it to the tank that it has plenty of flow.
