New set-up, need advice

[ReefOcean]

Cool and thx. I never even heard of a closed loop. I found an easy and cheap over-the-top design online. I think I will go with that instead of powerheads.

As for temp, I have a chiller but if I keep all of my pumps outside of the water, would that significantly help to reduce overheating? I can just draw water with my skimmer, return and reactor pumps with piping while having the pumps outside... What do you think or will it just be a big mess?
