Ok, mps....I read your post wrong. I thought I saw that you recommended the sketch I drew up.....re reading, it is clear. The minimum flow rate on my chiller is 480gph. I am thinking I will pick up a Mag 7 submersable pump for this application.

also the way you have it drawn your pump will run dry for a second from the sump to the intake of the chiller wich could be a problem especially if turned on/off several times.

cheeks - disregarding the T and Valve for the chiller, this is my return line. My lfs forgot to drill the return hole in the refugium and this is how I plan to plumb it. My sketches are not to scale. This is ok....right?...Will my pump run dry?
As for the rest of the plumbing for the tank, I didn't have problems, but the chiller really threw me out of whack, I dont know why, I just had a hard time grasping the concept of flow/force/pull....expecially with out realizing that I needed an external pump. I forgot I could download user manuals off the net
I really do appreciate the help!
Craig- Pics will come soon
