SRC Member dradttg Posted January 22, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 22, 2004 For a closed system a pump is used to generate current flow rather than a powerhead or tunze. Additional piping is required to enable water to be drawn out from the main tank using the pump and pumped back into the tank. The closed loop system is more presentable as the pump can be kept hidden unlike the powerhead. However, the closed loop system lacks the flexiblity of the powerhead in that the pipes are fixed.

Achilles Tang Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 A closed loop driven by one powerful pump does away with multiple powerheads in a tank. It may reduce unsightliness and maybe even reduce heat transferred into the water. Technically... a closed loop should not enter into a filtration canister.
