Need all 4 pumps??


Right now my system has the:

Return pump
Skimmer pump
UV sterilizer pump

I am expecting a chiller tomorrow b/c I order a 500 watt MH light to keep the temp down. My system with 260 watts PC stays in the 81-82 range.

Is there a way to use one pump for two items or does each one need its own pump?? This will mean 4 pumps in the sump and I am running out of room.

you can tee off of your main return. Here's a pick of how mine is done. The left returns to the display via lockline and the right tee's to the chiller which returns to the display via a spraybar along the bottom.
