So I capped the Bulkheads from the closed loop and will be using powerheads like I said above. I ended up deciding to buy two of the mods kits for Maxi Jet 1200's making them 1600 GPH and they are quite impressive now. I also bought 2 Koralia 3's. I thought the 4's were WAY to big and would be a huge eyesore. The 3's are much smaller and along with the Modded Maxijets and mag 18 return, will be more than enough flow. Although I would have like to keep the closed loop, this has turned out very good I think. You will see 2 powerheads near the top of the tank and the others are hidden. I think I will keep the maxijets in sight since they are even smaller than the Koralias.
If anyone is interested, I will post pics. Most of the LR pillars are also done and looking pretty good. The first 2 reach right to the top of the water. It creates a pretty cool look.
