Yes , you'll need extra piping from your chiller outlet to your main tank.

You just need one more pipe that can connect your chiller outlet to tank. The size that your canister filter is using will be fine.

1. Sequent is right

2. Use rubber hose (eg ehiem hose or similar)

3. Make sure you flush flush flush the canister and chiller before use. Never know what deposit is in it, so play safe.

Anyone with photo of Lily Pipe and Rainbar? Please share so it is easier for everyone to have a common knowledge of what they are.

There is a recommended range of flowrate for the chiller.
Make sure the canister flowrate is within the range so that your chiller is at the best efficiency.
