Closed Loop Help Please
 

Heya,
I am after some advice on closed loop systems.

I have a 4x4x2.5 island tank and want to put a closed loop system in. Mainly keeping sps. Only problem is I am in Australia and there is not alot of help for new systems.

Just wondering if anyone could please give me some advice.

I am looking at either some panworlds or a Reeflo Hammerhead Gold as they will convert to 220v 50hz.

Thanks in advance people really appreciate it

Ok can anyone tell me how many outlets there should be on a hammer head gold and what size?

Inlet is 1 1/2 and outlet is 1 1/2

Please? Anyone?

The biggest issue for you, if I understand you correctly, is that it's a peninsula install. That means 3 sides of the tank are exposed for viewing giving you only one side to plumb for your closed loop. That's kinda tough unless you don't miund being able to see alot of plumbing in the tank.

For what it's worth I found this review on Marine Depot:

" I bought two of these pumps two years ago for my 180g reef system. One supplies my skimmer and chiller while the other was used for my main return pump with four drains. This latter pump has had significant problems especially after the first year. Although it is quite, it is constantly going down and needs cleaning at least every month. Unfortunately for me I hard plumbed my system, so getting to this pump is a real chore. I've owned other external pumps which required no maintenance for years. I would also like to add that all of the water that gets drawn through these pumps is pre-filtered with micron socks.
I would not recommend this product to my friends."

Island tank, all four sides veiwable, (cant make it easy) all plumbing is going to be done via the base. All plumbing is going to be hiden to best of abilty under rocks.
