YIPPEEE! Got the part!!!!

First test: using mouth blow through it... compare to old venturi... Gotta say that it is about double the air flow, easy.

Second test: Using mouth to blow through it, but have kids tell me which one is better. and they don't know what is new or old. This way I know it isn't my cenial mind playing tricks on me. Both kids picked the new part

Installed on skimmer and put back in sump. It has been in a vinegar bath all day, and I gotta say wow!!! Much more bubbles than before, and already creating a very brown foam top. So I look forward to seeing this broken-in and tuned. But initially so much better than before.

Just want to thank Denny/Dave @ Concept for trying to help.

Big thanks to Jeremy @ Coralvue for working with me to figure this out and getting the parts to me.

I am confident that all should be fine now, and would recommend both parties for their service/support, and hopefully soon I will let you know how well the equipment works.

Thanks all on Canreef for your efforts in helping me.

My final update on this matter:

The new venturi is doing wonders, and this skimmer is working well. Pulling very dark and stinky skimmate. Water level is 100% stable. All I can say is wow, it is working well now.

Thanks to Jeremy @ coralvue, he kept dealing with me, even when I may of not been the ideal customer. Thanks, and I recommend his service and products!

Can't wait to see what this baby will do once it breaks in, develops the slime/bacteria buildup within it. Yippeee for me!
