Changing method of water flow

[tripper]

Currently I have 4 powerheads in my 72G bowfront. I am getting tired of the cluttered look and constantly readjusting them and cleaning the intakes. I am considering taking them all down and doing a closed loop system instead. I would get one external pump rated at 1000-1500 gph at 4' head loss and have one intake and split the return into two lines. I feel like this would give a better current if I used 2 larger output tubes than the narrow stream of a powerhead. I guess it reminds me more of a Tunze unit, but not quite as good. What do you think of this idea? I really would just like a cleaner look in my tank.

i use the csr90 overflow to a wet/dry and pump it back with a viaaqua 2600 or 3500 can't remember, 3/4 inch tubing to return two outputs thanks to the scwd works pretty well
