I'll be setting up my first manifold this week. I wanted to run a chiller off the manifold. My question is does the return pump traditionally provide enough flow to a small chiller. Also how would I go about hard plumbing it. A little confused..

Well that depends a lot on the pump. I am aways from doing mine I will have 2 return pumps plumbed into a panifold on one valve I will put a chiller on another a carbon reactor and maybe GFO

Thanks for the reply Mark. My plan is to run my Vectra S1. Pretty short runs with the plumbing, two manifold points one 3/4 inch one 1/2 inch. 3/4 to run my chiller and 1/2 for a reactor.
 
Just need an oversized pump and some ball valves to control flow to everything.

I have a cor15 on my manifold it has the return and three accessory spots my tanknis a nano so plenty of flow for everything
