    true enough, if pump is at maximum air intake and you try that it cavitates or stops running, typical venturi's are problematic ie. restriction of intake water to create low pressure zone... balance between air/water/flow, what would be awesome is a dilatable orifice

    what is this cleaning you speak of? don't we just build a new one? oi! Ive never run a venturi just an air line right up the intake until it almost touches the mesh, you think a venturi is worth looking into?

I will stay with my style and here's the one for my new tank, 24'' tall 14'' wide 6 1/2'' thick. out flow water is forced to pass the intake of n/w and should pick up any stray...

    its the Beanie and little green shorts that really hurts a kids self image, probably your fascination with "boxes" is a deep seated need to hide/bury/disguise etc life's little pains, fear not it could have been alcohol
