Ande's 270'ish bar peninsula style tank build

[abcha0s]

Hi

I run a beananimal overflow - Dead silent. Completely stable. Totally reliable. - I would never use any other style overflow.

I used to run two closed loops on my tank. I've taken them both out in favor of Tunze powerheads. I agree with you on the engery considerations, but I also feel that closed loops have many other drawbacks. Obviously, they are much easier to hide when compared to powerheads, but that seems to be the only advantage. I will never run another closed loop.

I am also building a 300G tank (72" x 36" x 27"). Basically the same with a couple of extra inches for hieght.

Hope we can share some ideas.
