I love the aragocrete back wall, that's awesome. wow.. simply.. wow

PS where did you get those nozzle things?
Thanks Doug ... I am using 2 closed loops ... on each side behind the rockwork and about 8" above the sand is a 1 1/2" screened intake ( about 1' 6" from the ends ) ... this comes out the back of the tank and up to the Mag 18 and then outputs on the opposite side of the tank through the eductors ... I have valves on everything so I can take the punps out to clean them and I made the intakes larger so that I can upgrade the size of the pumps down the road.

I will find the link to the eductors for you ... I think you need a pump with a bit more gusto to run them though

EDIT : here is the link ... http://www.kthsales.com/website/vend...g_eductors.htm

Cheers
