Most likely would be better if i mounted the pumps lower, but you need a venturi on the intake to pull the air in. I might have been ale to get another 1" lower but that's about it. The overflow runs about 550gph throught the skimmer and the maxijets recirculate the water and air. Here are a few more pics of the venturis ect.


1/4"air intake.



Here's what i used for the union, 4" pvc and cap and plug.
