my understanding of a closed loop system is an external pump plumbed to an intake...which then seperates it into 2 or more "DIY" powerheads...i probably wont be able to set up a fuge for a while..til i get my own house..but thats ok...but i wont more flow in my tank without adding bulky powerheads...am i correct in my understanding or what a closed loop is?? if i am incorrect can sum1 correct me? and if i am correct what pump do u reccomend? and how exactly should i set it up? im thinking an intake (strained)...plumbed to exit through 3 or 4 returns....im lookin to get around 22-26turnover...any help or suggestions greatly appreciated! thanx doods!

Strange no one replied on this one. I have a CLS on my 55. The simplest setup is intake, plumbing, pump, plumbing, outlets. Here is a link to my basic (amateurish attempt) CLS and Trees more exotic system that uses Ocean's Motions 8 Way manifold.

My system uses a SCWD wavemaker driven by a Mag Drive 9.5 through a chiller and with only two outlets. Very easy to fabricate using PVC. Hope this helps.
