I just purchased a used 160 gallon setup from a good friend that just doesn't have the time to care for it. It 48 wide, 32 deep, and 24 tall. It was previously set up with an open and closed loop. I need some advise. I was planning on doing just the open loop, and abandoning the closed loop setup in favor of the more efficient power heads. But I'm open to advice.
I was heavy into the happy about 15 years ago, before having children, and have recently gotten back in with a 28 gallon cube, that I've had setup for about 4 months and I'm having a blast. This is a big undertaking and would like to do it right.
I wanted to do a beanie overflow but there aren't enough holes. Looks like a durso might be the only option. There's another bulkhead to the right of the overflow that I was going to tie back into the overflow to provide a return. That would give me three openings, the the rest just block off somehow. Nothing concrete by any means, just looking for options. By the way it glass as well.
