Hello, i am in the process of upgrading from my 90 gallon to a 125 gallon. I intend to use a closed loop for circulation. I am planning on using a set up like beans fail-safe overflow. i am Trying to decide if i should use a SQWD or an Oceans motion wave maker. I also was wondering if it would be better to have 2 loops with one on a constant flow and the other on the wave maker. i plan on making one loop with 8 outlets. there will be 3 outlets in the front with 45's pointing up and across the rock face, 3 in the back the same but across the backside rock face and 2 inside the rocks pointing straight up with 6" straight risers drilled with 1/8" holes to make a spray bar. the other loop will have 4 outlets on each end, 2 at the top of a riser pipe and two half way up the riser pipe. Would it be better to have the 8 rocks outlets on a constant flow and the end outlets on a SQWD wave maker (1"), or hook all 12 outlets to an Oceans Motions 4 way and alternate the flow between all of them. Any ideas or comments will be greatly appreciated! I'm going to drill my tank for the bulk-heads. I Plan on building a stand to accommodate my 65 Gallon Tall(it will be 42" high) which will have baffles for the skimmer(but no fuge, just water) and then drill a hole for a drain for water changes. I will be able to shut off flow from display to sump, drain water and replace for water changes, without ever disturbing display tank. I will later use a remote tank for a fuge. also plan on using a 5 gallon DSB in a bucket plumbed inline in the return line! I'm also building a Hood that will be 12" tall to house 4 96watt Power compacts(2 10,000 k and 2 actinic) with 2 250 MH
