View Full Version : powering a closed loop using a propeller style powerhead?

I was wondering if there was a way to get the best of both worlds by using a powerhead like a nano stream to push water through a closed loop and come out in various outlets. All one would need to is put a powerhead into where the inlet of a cls would normally be and rather than going into a pump, just have it distributed within returns throughout the back of the tank. The reason for using something like this would be 1) less power consumption 2) maybe put it on a controller/wavemaker 3) use powerheads but hide them low enough where the rockwork would cover it so no one can see it. What do u guys think?
