Pump recommendations for 1/3hp chiller

[chimmike]

Just picked up a JBJ Arctica 1/3hp chiller. Also got a little giant 4mdqsc pump. I'm afraid the pump is a bit overkill for it, though, as even though I'll have to run piping, max head will be probably 6'.

Think it'll be okay to run it throttled back? Chiller will probably be 8 horizontal feet or more from the tank.

I just bought a Prime 1/3 chiller and a Quiet One 4000HH for it. The chiller is about 1' from the tank. R

Don't forget in addition to the head you have to push the water through the chiller.

yeah. Now that I have the placement of the chiller, it's more like 10-14 linear feet. I'll be angling the pipe towards the chiller and then towards the sump for the return, probably use 3/4" as well. The 4mdqsc little giant should be fine for that.
