Hi All,
I'm planning my next build and I've got just about everything figured out except...circulation.
Is anyone using closed loop systems any more or have the new high flop prop pumps made these a thing of the past?
I like the idea of a clean looking tank without a bunch of power heads but my current tank is suffering from insufficient flow so I want to remedy that this time.
My two leading options are a closed loop system with the suction being low on the back glass or through the bottom using short pipe and screen. The CL returns will go up and over the top of the tank (plumbing covered by a canopy).
My second option is a set of 2-3 Neptune Systems WAV pumps.
Thoughts?
