No problem at all. Assuming that the system works fine with your current setup AND the chiller doesn't have to run much during the lights off cycle to maintain room temp....then yes I think that you would be fine with the same system on a flip flop. It will all depend on your air cooling actually. This would be a VERY energy efficient setup and should really kick ass.
Hydro Innovations just released their own line of energy efficient pumps that you might want to consider, especially if you haven't installed it yet. I have one already and I replaced my 1/2 flotec pump with it. The flotec uses about 10 amps and this new pump uses only 3 amps and actually outflows the flotec by about 3000 GPH. The flotec has an AO Smith motor which is a very reliable motor, the new pump has a high effeicency Baldor motor that is equally as badass. Its really quiet too but its not cheap.
Can I get opinions to compare these...

The Sequence centrifugal pumps are designed and built to meet the special needs of ponds, waterscapes and aquaculture. Buying quality products really pays. Not only do you get years of dependable service, but you enjoy tremendous savings on your electric bill every month.
The 750 and 1000 series are the workhorses of the industry. They provide tremendous flow rates, with enough pressure (head) to handle the requirements of most systems with biological filters and moderate height waterfalls. They are also used extensively for the transfer and re-circulation requirements of filtration systems, water features, streams, fountains and aquaculture.
Out-of-pond construction - NOT Submersible!
Less than half the watt draw of comparable submersible pumps
Ports are 2" FNPT suction and 1.5" FNPT discharge.
Units are pre-wired with an 8' cord and molded 115V plug.
Housing is molded of high strength, glass filled polypropylene.
Quiet operation
Dry run resistant mechanical seals.
Stainless steel hardware is standard.
The motors are TEFC, for excellent protection.
Industrial grade motors.

and this last one $299 ahh 1.56amps 80 gpm @12 feet
would last one work for 10 or so circuits??My thought was tank to 2" to pump to 1 1/2 to 2- 3/4 manifolds with 5- 1/2 drops with valves@ each and as I been following this great forum I made the return 1" to 5 - 1/2 drops with valves. And each return manifold will go back to rez. Should I build away? how much gpm and height needed if room has 8 ft ceiling ?? not running long runs.
please opinions
and thanks for your time
