The pipes run across the front and the back of the tank and exit through small nozzles. This is the closed loop part of my system.

Thank you very much, this is my fourth tank build in the 30 plus years. I put everything I’ve learned into this build. I feel this will be last final dream tank but you never know lol

OK sorry, I understand now and after looking at the pics more carefully. Are you worried about sand, snails, etc. getting into the seabed nozzles---particularly when the associated pumps are off? Not a criticism, just curious. I don't think I've seen this plumbing setup before.

No worries, the pumps never sit off. I don’t think there would be anyway for the nozzles to get clogged up with anything

Sooooo I’m going to update a list and hopefully a video of the current tank tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for our kind comments. This is a labor of love, especially since I spent 4 hrs last night plumbing in my new monster Uv sterilizer. I’m just happy everyone is growing and happy in the new setup

I’ve been planning the UV on my system too. I’m interested to see which one you sent with and how you plumbed it.

I went with the 80 watt pentair. Price was high but I get what you pay for. I have to much money in fish and corals to chance it on a subpar unit. I’ll take pictures in a little bit

What pumps are you using on the closed loop do the nozzles flow even or are the last ones weaker
