MarineKid · 05-12-2002, 02:47 PM

I've done searches on here and on RC, and both have come up with lots of results, and I've checked them all out, but I don't get how to hook the suckers up....I'm having an ampmaster 3000 for the return and want to do the closed loop, but dont know how

, I'm having two 1" seaswirls also...please help!!

you want to use the ampmaster for the closed loop?
using the ampmaster for a return will be difficult unless you have a very large sump/drains.

well the ampmaster will be the system pump that pumps it up from the sump back up to the tank...

Closed loop

I have an AM3K plumbed closed loop hooked up to 2 1" SS's here are some pics for ya....I know all you expert electricians/plumbers (my ballast should be mounted above and all the wiring above the plumbing. The loop goes through my Chiller which is why its going out the wall!
