Closed Loop

marinelife · 11-25-2001, 04:58 PM

I was using the search feature and want to see if anyone has ony pictures or diagrams of there close looped system. I am looking into doing it and would like to see some pictures or diagrams. Also is anyone using anything on there system to like T off the return water but have it switch between the two sides. If so how did you do it. I have thinking of using a Iwaki pump to run it and just 4 if off a few time to go back into the tank in different places with maybe a few of the returns being a spray bar. Also should the pump be above the tank or will it be ok under the tank. Let me know what you think.

There is a good piture of a closed loop on this thread

I think Scubadude has a very nice setup with pitures some where here. You might want to do a search.

The pump will be fine under the tank. I use a closed loop but my tank is not drilled for it.I use a U-tube much like the one shown on the thread linked below.
