i ran a seperate chiller for each system. I ran roughly 30 5 gallon buckets per sytem. I ran 1hp chillers. be careful where you place the chillers. They throw out a TREMENDOUS amount of heat. Don't leave them in the same room as your buckets... Biggest question is probably how many buckets you are truing to run.
ya you can do that. If your running different EC's/ nutes then you can still do it this way. get a couple of Wort chillers, stainless steel ones are cheap. some hose, insulated after installation is best ,an insulated cooler the larger the better (this is your cold water res.) cut holes in the top for output and return hose., a submersible pump. what you do is use the pump to circulate the water from the cooler through the wort chillers to the chiller and back to the cooler. works well and you'll set the temp of the chiller by the UC res temp, not the cooler temp. I added a quick drawing to illustrate 
This is a great idea and will try it but wouldnt the water cause to much pressure or it doesnt matter?
