comments needed on my skimmer plan

[typrobin]

bro, need to check with u...if the water going to be pumped in like as shown?

if it is i suggest not...the air intake should be suck in by the pump, chop by the impeller (propeller) and release back into your skimmer....

look at this original H&S...it is a in-sump kind, i think...if your sump can accomadate your skimmer, then its more advisable...building a out-of-sump kind, u need to use a lot of elbows which will decrease the flowrate of the pump and in turn reduce the amount of air-intake....juz abit of my experience from my FAILED DIY H&S....

hmmm....interesting suggestion typrobin, i have seen skimmers with needlewheel inpeller pumps. but i would prefer a venturi because of certain reasons. anyway and your venturi design is nice!!!!
