Yes. The 'IN' from the first pump needs to be connected to the 'OUT' from the reservoir and the 'OUT' from the first pump goes directly into the 'IN' of the 2nd pump and from the 'OUT' of the 2nd pump to your water blocks or whatever comes next in your loop.

I have the same setup,
there is a bad thing about this though,
if you dont run the 2 pumps at exactly the same speed, they break down quicker.
this is why i first tried to put them parallel but then if one pump fails it just short loops back through this one.

connect them like you thought (and how pilo described it) and make sure you get them running at the same speed.

ok, I thank u both on the reply when i do my next cleaning witch will be very soon i will be adding the other pump i have.
one pump has to be on one channel then the other pump on the next channel right?
so is it bad to run 2 pumps then?

what do you mean with channel?

and its oke to run 2 pumps as long as you fix their speed to exact the same.
