Wow, this took some time to figure out (glad you did).
I have exact same pump Bubble Blaster 3000 the newest version. And it makes my skimmer insanely powerful. I i get around to upload the pics and video i will post it. It is a cone but not a SRO, design is similar to vertex. Water level is very stable in mine though. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=76429 I have replaced oem pump with Bubble Blaster 3000 for more air intake volume, oem was 700l/h BB3000 is up to 1400l/h. And it seems a little too powerful for the skimmer size, so as you also noticed there is a lot of turbulence in the reaction chamber even though there is a diffusion plate on the pump output fitting. So my solution to it was a plastic netting rolled in to a reaction chamber to reduce the turbulence as well as air intake control to reduce bubble size and turbulence. Also a very good practice is to unplug the skimmer every time you clean a collection cup so your ventury is getting soaked and cleaned more frequently.

If it isn't one thing, it's another...
FedEx has actually lost the shipment (the new venturi). They have no clue where it is, and it was last scanned in Saint Paul, MN. Good ole delivery service, charge alot, don't deliver and they really didn't care. Now Jeremy @ Coralvue is trying to find it, or he will have to send another. One day I may get this skimmer running properly!

Still no part, FedEx can't find it and the manufacturer has no more parts until they receive their next shipment, so they can't ship another.
This just sucks!

My spidey senses are tingling... UPS has received part in Calgary, to be delivered by end of day. I am so excited, like a kid in a candy store.
 Thanks to Jeremy @ coralvue... he found a part from a LFS in the U.S. for me, and rushed it out.
