Can I eliminate my PowerHeads with This

Hi folks,

I'm considering buying a WavySea wavemaker and I curious if having this in the tank will eliminate the need for powerheads? i would love to do away with them, as I find them unsightly.

Any advice on the WavySea and thoughts on doing away with the powerheads is appreciated!

Thanks!

If you wanted to you could. You may still need more added flow depending on the tank.

A closed loop system is another alternative.

Hi,

Can you explain better what a closed loop system looks like?

Thanks!
