BTW, I like DIY. I built my sump and a lot of other stuff over the years. I enjoy it and don't freak if something doesn't work. Take my...
You're welcome. It is a neat idea, just scary.;D Personally, I've got lots of tube worms living in the sump doing a similar job and they don't...
I bought it as a DIY project. I've never run it without the becket. That said, I don't see why it wouldn't as visually the venturi looks sound. As an...
Of course, there is the other side of the coin. ;) I can't stop the coralline. It is running amok and taking over my tanks, including the...

I'll bet the tube is more than 3' if it's under the tank. Rio 1400 = 290gph at 3', 243 at 4' and 87 at 6' Rio 1700 = 418gph at 3', 352 at 4' and...
+1 Maybe a little more depending on how the tank is acting.
Chaeto should be fine. You don't need a high K light for it. That grow light is just a little hot and inefficient. Menard's has cheap florescent work...
