That's an awesomely creative solution brad!

I love the look of a sandbed, and the added biodiversity, but was thinking of goin bare bottom. For easier maintenance and being able to keep water quality up easier. And not having to worry about sand storms.

I will keep this in mind as an option though.

Running below tank and coming through the bottom corners could do the same, if it can be hidden in the stand.

Closed loop? I think Brad's idea will definitely help, but I don't think just the return flow would be enough.

Agreed. I've run a MAG 24 into 2 returns and the flow was dismal.
