Can I vote for depends on what you want to do with a closed loop?

If you are going to run a closed loop to power rock structures or run a dart on a 4-way, then you have my vote for closed loop, drilled. If that is not in your plans, I would vote for a good set of tunze or vortecs or something

Definately NOT over the top for a closed loop though

I am not to familiar with a Dart and a OM 4 way. Have to look into it all. I have had my tank drilled before and did a closed loop, Out here I dont know who I could get to dril the tank this time. Not sure if I want to tackle that one myself.

I run a dart with an OM 4 way as well. My last tank was 2 Tunze 6100 and a multicontroller. I prefer the closed loop for variation in flow (more outlets) and cleaner look.
