I have a 90 gallon tank with a 40g breeder sump/fuge with a reefoctopus xp2000. I currently am using a mag 5 but it is going through a Oceanic 1/6HP chiller. Pump discharge is flexible pvc tubing. Sump is right behind wall so it going through about 8ft flex tubing and 3 90's(flex tubing at a curve). I have tried the reef calculator for head loss but there is not anything on how much loss there will be through the Chiller. I would also like to put a tee to feed a GFO and GAC reactor. my mag 5 only puts out a trickle at my display the way it is setup up through my chiller. there is no way I'm getting 3 to 4 times return to my sump. would a eheim 1262 b enough to go through chiller and to my display? or should i buy a eheim for my return and tee it to my reactors and just use my mag5 for my chiller only.
