What size pump are you going to use with it?.

I have a JBJ 1/3 HP Arctica chiller and using a Mag 9.5 pump. The chiller is located in the garage with water lines running through the wall. It has been in operation for over a year now.

David, How far is you chiller away from your tank?

It is approx four feet on the other side of the wall but the water lines running to and from the chiller are eighteen feet total (9 out and 9 back) into the sump located below the tank. With that length I have plenty of flow and could go even longer if I needed too with the Mag 9.5 pump.

with you return line being that long does the water warm up ?

No the flow is much too high for that to happen. Also remember that the chiller is located in the garage where the temps go over 120 degrees during the hotest days in the summer without any negative affect.
