Closed loop with external pump. Less equipment in tank, especially a 65.

what are the plans for the tank?
there are pros and cons to either
closed loop is nice so you dont have equipment cluttering up your tank. powerheads are nioce because yhey are easier to modify your flow by simply moving them around instead of replumbing.
Well thats my plan with a PH system using a Vortex and a Tuzen .For the closed loop still in the air, not sure how to set it up.

They're quite simple, really. Check out this thread:

Decide how much flow you want from the system. Choose a pump ensuring you compensate for head pressure if necessary. Plumbing is simply PVC you get at any hardware store. For your output, get adjustable nozzles or you can use a spray bar. Some, like me, even put a SCWD that alternates output from one nozzle to another. Cheap wavemaker.

Switching Current Water Director-pronounced "squid". It's a wavemaker device that alternates current from one outlet to another outlet. Goes for about $40 for a 3/4" (connectors) and $80 for 1".
