Why don't you just buy the loc-line eductors??

If you want to try them you will need a high pressure pump to get good results.


With my eductors you can go as small as a mag 9 for a pair of eductors.

There is adapters that you can use to put them on lockline.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunatily (sp?) the check out function on the site in down. I will there again later. Is there any place to buy single parts? I am going to end up with a ton of extra parts when I buy them.

I was going to add an eductor to my return line (Ocean Runner 3500, 5' head. 3/4" loc-line) and 2 on my in-tank CL (Mag 7 w SCWD, 1/2" loc-line). Throw in my Seio 6500s, my new 65 gallon tank should have some nice water movement.

I stopped at the hardware today and checked on the pieces needed for the project. I didn't see the same type of reducer you used. What they had were ones that slipped inside the bigger size pipe with an opening for the smaller one in the middle. I was wondering if those might work. The inside face of the couple was actually bowl shape so the water would be funnelled down before existing the eductor. The inside of the eductor be the shape of an egg. Any thoughts?

The reducer is found in the toilet and sink plumbing section.

If you can find it then definitely give it a try with the other reducer ad LMK how it goes
