Hi Bros, Need help in chiller setup. Have a Hailea 300a chiller,eheim 2026 canister,eheim 1250 external pump and 2 jaleco pre-filter. What's the best sequence for this???? Will use the eheim 2026 as filter. 1250 pump enough to maintain this setup?? Using for 4ft tank. Thanks a lot.

Just use the pump for the chiller.

Can i put it in this sequence?? Thanks.
Tank -- Canister -- Pump -- Filter -- Filter -- Chiller -- Tank

pump output flow rate is higher than yr canister. just use pump for the chiller will be good.

I'm using the canister as a filter only.
So it's tank--filter--pump or tank--pump--filter?
Any differences in the both setup?

Put the pump after the filter to prevent any over preasure in the filter and leakage.
If want to use the pump with the chiller only, got to put the prefilter before the pump if not the chiller will be dirty very fast. For this set up, the chiller will be the last one.
