I just purchased a 120 g rimless tank w starphire glass equipped w a closed loop system.. With that said my lfs is telling me that the closed loop system in general isn't great and I shouldn't use it, any thoughts on this, it's a really nice set up

Oh, regarding the closed loop. I feel they work well. It just depends how green you want to go as some closed loop pumps can consume a lot of electricity and would poetically not be as quiet plus you lose the ability to have random flow.
I would keep the closed loop personally. I had one on my 75g and liked it alot, go with atleast 1200-1500 gph and you should be good. You will still want to have a couple powerheads IMO, but the CL helps so its not so cluttered w/ powerheads IMO.
If you are going to add power heads, it defeats the purpose of going closed loop. Jmo
But I do agree having 7-8 ph's in the tank ready does not look to good
Thanks for the in put guys
