fired up the closed loop, works like a dream.  With the two pumps and the small heater I'm maintaining a steady 80* reading.  SG is 1.025...forgot to bring in some raw scallop yesterday and today is a day off, so tomorrow we'll start the cycle.  Scallop and a cup or so of sand from an established tank should do the trick. 
 
Also ordered two TLF reactors, going to run one with carbon and one with Rowa-phos or something similar.  Question...should a maxijet 1200 be enough flow to daisy chain the two reactors together??? Rowaphos in the first one, carbon in the other? or should I look at two separate pumps.... 
 
This low budget tank is officially breaking me.
