R reefland Advanced Reefer Rating - 0% 0 0 0 Jul 31, 2001 #3 I'm in process of converting my 180 to a dual Sea Swirl return system powered by a Iwaki MD70RLT. I'm going to use a MAK4 in a closed loop using PVC over the top, to the front and then with Loc-Line for front to back cirulation. And finally two 950GPH Gemini power heads on each side of the tank.
