do i really need a close loop yes or no and pics please how will you doit in a 180g

You dont really need one if your going to run powerheads ie. tunze streams.

[kane4187]

And if you went with a close loop you would have to drill your tank for the bulk heads or do a over the top style like melev's did.

I went with Tunze on a controller w/night sensor
Less power usage, no holes to drill, no chance of leaks

You could also look at the cheaper Seio's.

Yeah those pump's are really neat. I'm not sure when the release date is but I hear there going to have a pretty big price tag. But with the battery backup system they would be well worth it.

Heres a thread from the Icecap forum with a lot more info.

I had a seio pump, and it really moved water. I switched to three maxi jet 1200s on a wave maker that I got from drsfosterandsmith.com. I works great, but I'm having a hard time keeping the stupid powerheads on the glass.
