Now, I am just wondering what to do. Do I go closed loop again, with a OM-4. Or vortech's? I REALLLLY like the no powerhead look. I think I want a blue background, then the overflow is made from smoked glass. Remove overflow?? Allways wanted a Coast to Coast overflow.. Hmmm I'm in this far, I dunno.......
Just so many possibilities.

I'm trying to figure out the same as you for flow. Although I would only want a 2-way, or a VorTech, or a Wavebox. I'm leaning towards doing the 2-way plus either a VorTech or Wavebox. Decisions, decisions. I'm doing a Herbie though overflow though.
