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.

People actually subscribe to threads here? What I love about CanReef is you can just hit the new posts button every visit unlike other sites. Nothing can get burried more than a page between visits and you see everything. Try that on RC and you have like 10,000 new posts lol.

But some of us rely on our iPhones to tell us when new and of-interest posts are made :-) .. as well as hitting the 'new post button' every few minutes .. you know, just in case there is a new post in between.
