The black premium reactors they have are awesome and at a great price too. I just finished my first large tank and that is my two cents..good luck and have some fun with it!
I had actually planned on ordering my kalk and stuff from BRS

For the closed loop I was going to use a reeflo super dart 3 3/4 in Sea Swirls, and I also drilled 3 holes equally on the back bottom of the tank. Hope that makes sense. I will post a pic.

The three small yellow circles are where the holes are drilled. The large yellow circle is the feed hole for the super dart. I love Sea Swirls. They are really nice and prove great random flow. I did, however, come across brand new vortechs on ebay for an excellent price!!! I would like to run all that flow personally, but I am also thinking about the monthly bill. I have not decided. The tank was previously set up somewhere else. I wanted to change the way it was set up. I would love to buy a DD. Mike told me that he recently helped someone with a 300 DD, and they used the SRO 3000 XP cone on the setup. Not the 5000. I guess it depends on what you want to do with the tank. Definitely talk to him.
Funny enough I randomly got confused and PMed Jeremy. Turns out he answered my question either way! I had asked about the XP 3000 but with the fact that I have a cowfish and want to add a couple messy eaters he recommended that I get the XP 5000. It may be overkill, but cowfish, like nibbler, are celebrated poopers.
