Oceanflo.com is probably the least DIY solution, Mjmods.com is in the middle, and just buying parts at Towerhobbies.com is the most DIY.
Prices are like $80/$45/$27 depending on the amount of work you want to do.

My biggest thing is the appearance of the tunze is very pleasing, as it is very small. What about this deal for the 6000 and a singlecontroller? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190040755285&category=46312 Could I use a singlecontroller on 2 powerheads? Or would I need 2 powerheads with this flow?

Wait for the Tunze nanostreams to hit online, You'll have to wait like 1-2 weeks from today. There are so much smaller and take up so little room and so efficient!
I suggest getting two nanostreams with a multi controller (around $800) Not all nanostreams are controllable, the highlest level is the only one that is controllable.

You could set up some sort of closed loop system as well.
For instance:

That is a good idea. Now could I put the intake pipe for that pump and put it in the overflow so it's hidden?

If the return pump is off the pump for the closed loop is off though. They will be on the same "switch" so to speak.

The Tunze nanostreams are no smaller than a properly made maximod. They're also more expensive, and give significantly less flow.
THeyre also less efficient in most cases.

that would work when both are on or off together, like on the same switch.
Unless the return pump breaks, then you'll fry your CL pump too.

What could I do then? I would rather not have a big white pvc pipe hanging in the back of the tank. Maybe if it was black...

I have an ACjr, is there a way to say if pump 1 is on, turn on pump 2? If pump 1 does not turn on, 2 will stay off?

If you're gonna put a closed loop on, the tank should be drilled.. You'll just have a bulkhead and strainer on the back.

Rumor has it that the maxijet mods are being tested with the Seio controller and is successfully being used, but that more time is necessary to ensure that it does not damage the pump.
I cannot get myself to buy a Seio(Rio).

Oceanflo apparantly had theirs running on a SEIO controller at Macna, but again, we have no idea what they'll do long term.

BTW Rich I love my light setup, thanks for giving me the input on T5's. Here's a link to my setup, it was kind of cloudy though in the pics, only 2 days after startup. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=8504285#post8504285
I think I will have to look into just doing the maximod. They just look like they would be bigger.
