Jacques, I do not have a clue as to where to put it. It will all sit on the outside I suppose, but Andrew/Eco Aquatics will do my whole setup for me next week. Maybe we should ask him for some type of diagram. Aquadeziac knows a fair bit of this "Closed Loop System" as well. He Has this on his website:
The SCWD is a revolutionary device. It is a mechanical wave maker, requiring no additional energy, made with demanding customers in mind. This innovative wave maker will stimulate coral growth, enhance fish health, and increases oxygenation in the water. The SCWD does this by creating similar movements as found in the ocean. The SCWD has been manufactured to the highest degree of quality and has been field tested with over 53000 hrs of trouble free operation. The SCWD takes water from your existing pump or filter and alternately switches water between the two outlet ports at varying intervals. The SCWD creates movements similar to those found in the ocean. These movements stimulate coral growth, enhance fish health, and increases oxygenation in the water. The SCWD is a mechanical wave maker requiring no additional energy.Ê Just hook it up to your existing aquarium set-up and watch it bring your tank to life. As mentioned SCWD has been field-tested for over 53000 hours of continuous use in a sustained reef environment where water conditions were at or above calcium levels of 400ppm. In addition, SCWD has been subjected to qualification testing, which included use of hard water and elevated calcium levels (1000ppm) that were sustained for six weeks.Ê After one month the power head running the SCWD stopped working, and required cleaning.Ê Two weeks later the same power head failed again, but SCWD continued to operate without incident. The SCWDÕs switching response is dependant on the amount of water volume running through the device.Ê The more water the faster the switching response.Ê The SCWD can be mounted either internally or externally, depending on the desired results.Ê The unit housing is completely sealed less the inlet and two outlets, so it may be hung outside the aquarium.Ê The product materials are completely safe in both fresh and salt-water environments making it safe for installing inside the tank. Although not overly sensitive to the normal particulate and debris found in reef tank environments, it is strongly recommended that the water flowing through the SCWD is pre-filtered. The SCWD can be ran off a pump or power head at as low as 50 gallons per hour, and can be used with pump applications up to 1400 gallons and hour.Ê Keep in mind that at fifty gallons an hour the switching response is very slow, and at 1400 gallons an hour the switching response is quite rapid. The SCWD is guaranteed to withstand water pressures up to 5 PSI.
