I have a closed loop now in the 165 & don't like it as it has caused me more grief then it's worth.

running it off your return means you need to deal with whatever flow you want out of the 4-way as a bare minimum through the sump too.

Well I have the glass panels for the tank now & I must say 96" x 30" x 3/4" glass looks heavier then it is.

Are you putting the tank together yourself?

Oh hell no, a whole 300 gal 8'er is EXTREMELY HEAVY! But one pane of glass really is not as heavy as I thought it would be. I am doing a coast to coast 6" x 6" overflow with my drains going out the back of the tank.

You bet, this is going to be a complete DIY build. The only parts I am missing is a doser & LED's ATM.

Yep, I have a Profilux 2Ex controller so I am going with the Profilux doser. I had one lined up at a great price but have not been able to get a hold of the fellow. Might have to buy one new.
