Pump for chiller

[RoyB]

I picked up a used coralife 1/10 chiller for my 37g tank. The drop is 4' and the chiller will be about 6' from aquarium stand. The instructions say 200-300gph. So I am figuring a 400-450gph pump will be about right. Any recommendations on a good pump and does 400-450gph seem right?

Google 'aquarium pump head less calculator'. You can plug in the pipe diameter, number of bends, vertical rise, and a pump with similar flow, etc. to get pretty close.

I'm pretty happy with Eheim pumps and think the Compact+ 2000 is about the right size for your app.

Thanks for the help. The compact+2000 seems to be the right pump, just ordered one.
