Hi reefers, I am actually using my return pump from sump to run through my chiller than back to main tank. My eheim return is approx 2400L flow rate. Will this flow rate be affected once return out from chiller back to main tank ? Cause I maybe thinking of mounting a uv sterilizer on the return out from chiller. And concerned on the flow rate. Not wanting to have to many pumps in my sump. Thanks in advance

Return pump is one of the most important equipment of your tank system. Depending on what you keep you need to have 8 to 10 times of the water volume turn over .

Every T off elbow or blend of the piping will affect the overall discharge flow rate, so I would recommend you not to share with some many pcs of equipment or else if you need , use a stronger pump.
