ok here are the pictures.

Pump is at the far end of the sump. inlet is 1.5" and outlet is 1.5" but i reduced it to 1" for 1" vinyl tubing.



Tubing runs under the tank and into a Y where it splits into two 1" hoses



the vinyl hose is connected to a PVC 90 and then goes into the becketts. The 2 smaller hoses are the outputs from the pump forcing air in




water and air mixture travels down the "twisted" tube and then the mixture is ejected into the skimmer body




and this is how much SCFM i get with the air pump running.
Without the air pump (just sucking from beckett) this reads 0
