Closed Loop

[geraldwhite]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Quick question, I'm having a 200 gal (48x48x20) being built, I am in the research stage, this is going to be a SPS/Coral tank, becuase this tank is a square it will be viewed from all sides, meaning i'm going to need a center overflow box.

Now my question is can this be fitted for a closed loop system, I plan on piping up many pipes with loclines through out the tank for maximum flow, the overflow will drain into the sump, but how should I go about the return pipes for the loop and the pipes for the sump return.. I cant just bring them up the back (to prevent syphon) becuase it will be viewable from all sides...

thanks..
