    Hi,
    Does anyone know what pump I should be using on a Prime Tower 1/3 HP Chiller? The reason i am asking is because I am using a Mag 9.5 currently and the chiller cyles on and off every 5 mins. The aquarium is a 125 G so i know its not cooling it that fast:eek:. So I figure that the pump is not moving the water out of the chiller fast enough.

    Thanks for the help!

    These are the specs I pulled off the internet. Seems like you are pushing water way to fast through the coils in the chiller. Put a T-valve after the pump or get a smaller one.
