I really like the idea of aerating the fish tank by venturi to save some coin & help make the system quieter.. A mate shared an idea with me for a unit he had been working on & was happy with.. I decided to have a crack at his idea along with a few others to see which I thought would work the best for our set up.. I was most pleased with the results & ended up going with the "Bear Unit".. I have had one in the aquaponic fish tank for over 2 weeks now with no issues & have plans to add another to a moving bed bio filter that will be added to the system soon..
Was also very pleased with the off the shelf unit. That one will be going into the moving bed bio filter in the recirculating aquaculture system & is also being used in the fish tanks on the new aquaponics system.
The black "off the shelf" venturi used in this clip is now available through our "Blog Store". All ordering information is on the link below.
Below are a couple of pages I found helpful when looking into venturis,
