How to combine water oxidation w/ water return

[MimicTang]

There has to be some way to essentially cause air to be drawn into the return line without the need for air pumps?? I'm looking for this on my growout system.

Come on physics work with me here.

you mean like a venturi?

 

[MimicTang]

yes like a venturi so my water is all oxidated on its way to the tanks.

Rio Pumps have an air intake, like for my Cyclone Skimmer. Whould that be what your looking for to add air via a 3\4 in hose??

I just wanna use a little creative design to remove the need for an air pump. Figure there must be a way to cause the water to suck in air on its way back to the tanks.

Take the Durso part off the top so it's a straight pipe in the overflow. It's going to make alot of noise, and there's going to be considerable salt spray in the sump.

You could also put a becket injector on the end of the return line in the sump.

You should post this in the DIY forum though, it's more applicable.
