unclephester - I didn't want to reply as I can't help you much since I haven't needed a chiller in my RSM. One thing to consider is what the recommended flow rate is for the chiller you're considering, and then get a pump that will supply at least that much gph. And you obviously have to consider what pump will fit in that space on top of the RSM skimmer. I'm hoping that someone running a chiller will jump in here and give you some help.

unclephester,

I'm currently running a Hailea chiller HC-130A. I have Sicce NOVA pump 800L/H and it sits nicely submerged on-top of the Skimmer unit. It was the smallest size and most powerful pump that I could find. It's been running for 7 weeks and so far has been doing a great job.

SICCE hydroponic and aquarium pumps

Hope that helps

AS
