Massive Upgrades! What We Learned Updating Our Closed Loop Systems

by | Jun 5, 2025 | Equipment, Podcast

In this video, we take a closer look at the upgrades we’ve made to our closed loop systems at Tidal Gardens, including our move to Abyzz A400 pumps. We also share what we've learned about closed loops over the years—why we kept using them, what challenges we ran into, and how we finally dialed things in. If you're thinking about flow design in your own system, this might help you avoid a few mistakes and better understand the pros and cons of closed loop setups.Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGdAIpjFq4vygKzXAyDKKtQ/joinhttp://www.tidalgardens.com#tidalgardens #coral #reefaquariumCheck out our Amazon Affiliate Links to Items we use at Tidal Gardens The salt we use: Reef Crystals - https://amzn.to/3tYz9GAOur Favorite Fish and Coral Foods: Polyp Lab Reef Roids - https://amzn.to/424CTsa Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet 1.2 mm - https://amzn.to/35Xnz5B Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet 0.8 mm - https://amzn.to/2N10IPH Nori Sheets - https://amzn.to/2LQVzsQSuper Helpful Random Stuff: Sicce Utility Pump - https://amzn.to/3qjgu6X Wireless Remote Control - https://amzn.to/38FaMGy ETEKCITY Infrared Thermometer - https://amzn.to/3nH7Pt9 OXO silicone dryer mat - https://amzn.to/2TFadnX OXO Turkey Baster - https://amzn.to/3ofxyuV Rubbermaid 1/2 Tray - https://amzn.to/3hrPscyPhoto/Video: Canon C200 Cinema Camera Canon C70 Cinema Camera Canon 5Ds R - https://amzn.to/33qklaf Canon 100mm Macro - https://amzn.to/33pbUvG Canon 100mm IS Macro L - https://amzn.to/3guFh3h Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro - https://amzn.to/3gz9HBOAudio: Shure SM7B - https://amzn.to/2DUQPP1 Sennheiser 416 - https://amzn.to/3ajHpIT Sennheiser AVX Lavalier - https://amzn.to/33Ud4iU SSL 2+ Audio Interface - https://amzn.to/3ZZVpjV Cloudlifter CL-1 - https://amzn.to/2XY4En8 Aston Halo Portable Microphone Reflection Filter - https://amzn.to/36hoSfHCopyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.
