I've been thinking about the next tank build, and I've thought about doing a closed loop for flow. I know we're all about the small powerheads and gyres these days, but I can't get over how clean a closed loop would be.
I'm thinking of two DC pumps with one input and one output each. I'll use one of those varying outlets to give it some randomness, and I'll put the pumps into probably some kind of ramping pulse. The pumps I'll tuck under in the cabinet so they're totally out of the way.
I get that you can't really adjust the height, and maybe it's hard to clean around it vs. a pump you can just remove the magnet, but that doesn't really bother me too much. Plus, less noise since I can hide some nice quiet DC pumps in a cabinet.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking of possibly drilling a Waterbox Peninsula for it.
