Yam do you by any chance have a part number for the Dannco that you ordered? That thing just looks sexy and I want one!! Also, do you know how wide the hole is in your tank where the fitting comes in at? Also, does Kurt have the inline set up vertically or horizontally? I dont see how the venturi wont blow water out of if if it was vertical.

Here's mine with the inline Venturi... ![](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r307/Tgearly/D25131B6-69E8-4D93-A995-238A651C80E3-7585-000003A60F5CCB0A.jpg)

Tyler the only thing that I wonder about that is if there will be enough static head to limit the pressure of the pump so that it will pull air through the venturi hose. I know that sometimes if there isn't enough static head the pump will just push water up the venturi rather than pull air through it. It'll be fine. I know several this way. CatsNstripers is this way I believe. It keeps things simple and maximizes flow.

The Dannco Venturi has two inverted cones like a true Venturi - the construction of the flow diameters causes a pressure change as the water flows from the narrower to the wider area - and this sucks in (in this case) the air.
With some "non Venturi" ventures that just have a hole and hose inserted into a straight shaft the issue you describe of water flowing without sucking in the air might exist - a lot of aquarium power head pumps are designed like this with the optional air injection port on the output side of the pump.

BTW...I did test out the new mod. It's cool because you can turn the piece on the bait side and send the flow to the side or straight down or whatever angle that floats yer boat. No doubt, shooting in directly was the problem and my little mod worked great.
In terms of drilling another hole at the bottom. It would be easy enough to do...but she works fine now.
Don't fix something that ain't broke.

Thanks professor. I just ordered a bulkhead venturi like yours. They are also $10 cheaper than the inline's are, which is always a plus.

Professor was my name in the poker world. Wow, that brings back some memories. I played heavily in and around Richmond for about 5 years. Then things started to feel dirty so I left that world and became a fisherman. Same kind of buzz but a bit more wholesome for the soul.
