any guide on the chillers? i cant rem where i saw.. chiller is just the chiller right? still need a pump to pump the water out to go thru the chiller then back into the tank... den wad about filter?

Normaly ppl using external filter like ehiem to pump the water out from tank to filter then connect the outlet to chiller then from chiller back to the tank.

thank you so much for the picture so i suppose the black box is the ehiem 2026, which is the pump and filter? water gets pumped out, go thru the black box, gets filtered, then go to chiller at the left, before going back to the tank?
