    Welcome to 3Reef

    One of your submersible pumps will be for your chiller and the other one will be for your return pump

    You are going to likely need a 3rd pump for the Calcium reactor unless you hook it in line with the chiller.

    This will explain your sump. Melevsreef.com - Welcome!

    Your chiller has an Input and an Output...hot water goes in the Input and Cool water comes out of the output....

    You will need a pump to pump the water into the input hole thingy

    If you already have a return pump to pump the water from the sump to your tank, you can dump the water from the cooler near the return pump.... lol lot of pumping and dumping

    The calcium reactor i have no freakin clue ..i know you need a co2 tank and controller to make it work properly....and you can also hook effluent line to your skimmer to blow off the excess co2? lol

    I have no idea what i just said about the calcium reactor :)
