I'd just go with Vortechs. Closed loops are so inefficient . . . but I guess the one up side is that you can route the closed loop outlets up through the bottom of the tank and incorporate them into the rock work.

I am leaning towards a four outlet closed loop, probably all from the bottom with the input center back. Two corner overflows with four returns from the eurobracing. The way I have it calculated I should get about 25 times turnover. I would hope a single MP40 would be enough to get things stirring. I could also add the OM SS or 4Way later. Or maybe plumb the SS now and add the Vortech (but I would like to get in on the group buy now).
