pump suggestion

My sump return is actually an eheim 1262. I really have my doubts it could pump down into the chiller and out and maintain the 500 gph the chiller needs. Also I don't want to lower the turnover in the display. That'd be the head loss with the chiller plus more than 2m climb. Be lucky to get a trickle out of it I think.

I agree with that. If your planning to use a 1262, it would have to be an additional one.
