My next tank might have to b a closed loop system... (1 Viewer)

Just to try out a couple of these:

derKroon Mechanics - floWWolf V 1/4 - Cpu Based Programmable Flow Diverter - YouTube

Pretty sweet!

Very cool. I'm sick of cleaning VorTechs/Tunzes.

If I find someone reliable I will drill the Elos to get this.

Ouch!!! Don't know if I would have the kajones to drill an Elos! LOL! That would look tight though!

freaken cool I wonder what the pricing will be? Not that my wife is going to let me spend another dime...

That's pretty darn cool. Doesn't look like its available in the states yet. Are there any other options for randomization of flow with a closed loop other than an oceans motion?

The pricing is on their website, in Euros though. Looks like they start at 450 bones. That's a hit in the pocketbook; but if they work as advertised it'd be worth it, IMO.

Huh. I never realized that wolf was flow spelled backwards. Clever!

Nice....

Apparently I'm blind.... Its a hit but how much are 2 MP40's or 2 MP60's... granted you have to buy a CL pump as well... Still don't think it is as efficient as in tank circulation pumps but yeah I get tired of cleaning mine too and then eventually replacing wet sides...

I was brave enough to drill the Elos sump. The glass is not tempered but still it's scary.

Good point above but it would look so much nicer and cleaner to see no pumps on the side walls or the back wall. I love the big tanks in Fish Gallery...no visible pumps in the display tanks.

 

[steveb]

Yeah I agree to. Much cleaner looking.

Very cool, I agree and that's the look I am going for on my new tank. I am going to stick one jebao in the middle of the overflow but surround it with liverock for camouflage. Everything else is going to be a powerful return with 2" drains and 1" returns. If I could drill the side I probably would have done a closed loop but with a peninsula style it started getting difficult.
