Okay i am getting ready to buy another tank. currently i have a 4' 75 gallon and i am going to switch to a 4' 90 gallon. the problem i am having is that my tunze 6080 puts out WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much water so i was thinking about just doing a closed loop with NO powerheads tell me what you think about this closed loop idea
Have a total of 6 holes drilled in the back. 3 holes on each side. One hole on each side is drilled two inches from the top and 4 inches from the very corner part of the tank. These two holes are were the water is sucked from the tank.
The other four holes act as the return are drilled as follows:
One hole on each side is drilled 4-6 inches from the top and 2-3 inches from the side. The other two holes are just opposite of the first holes at the bottom of the tank.
The two drain holes have 1" female black pvc bulkheads with 1" male black screens in the tank and white pvc glued on the outside of the tank. The return holes have 1" black pvc bulkheads with 1" lock line in the tank and white pvc glued on the outside of the tank.
The drain line come together and are run through a chiller and the pushed back into the tank through the 4 inlets
On both sides just after the drain screen install ball valves. There will also be ball valves just before the return points.
Then have two return mag700 are on a wave timer. I have not figured out which way to point the returns yet though
OR
should i just stick with the tunze powerhead
