Rob’s DIY Venturi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZMjDgM3LaU I recently watched Rob Bob’s (bnbob01) DIY venturi video and it looked like so much fun I though…

Now that is a good idea. Eliminating the need for air stones is a big help.

That’s a great set up Dale.. Would work great in a large aquarium too
methinks.. Are you going to give DWC a crack with one of these jobbies?
Thanks for the mention sir..
I give this one a wet & bubbly thumbs up ;)

Nice demo. I saw one a while back where it was so powerful that you could
no longer see the fish, lol. He didn’t leave it on though.

Very nicely demonstrated Dale… I’m fascinated by how this works… I love
the fact that air can be introduced without the use of addition energy
:-)… Thanks… Chris

Looks like its putting out some nice air & circulating the water really
well. I think it would work great In a DWC system. You didn’t test that out
in the kitchen did you. I pictured you having the tube going the wrong way
& spraying down the kitchen-LOL.Well done on the video- you had some great
footage in there. Thumbs up for Ricks comment !!!!

I’m going to have to stop watching hydroponic videos or I’ll end up with a
garden full of IBCs.

I wonder if using a standard aerator for a sink would break up the bubbles
more.

I tried something similar a couple of months ago, but sadly a hopeless
algae issue popped up in the fish tank. I belive the aquarium received too
much light.
Hope you get better luck with your project, than I did. 🙂
Best wishes,

That’s really cool Dale, it was nice to see it demonstrated like this in
such a clean manor. Well done!

I recently watched Rob Bob’s (bnbob01) DIY venturi video and it looked like
so much fun I thought I’d try my hand at making a small version out of easy
to find local parts. I hope to be able to use this in future DWC or
recirculating hydroponics experiments.
I think it would be very useful in small hydroponics, aquaponics or
aquarium applications for water oxygenation.

This is not fair that they have done this to your clip Dale…..
This is your original clip & would be helpful to many & you deserve the
credit for your build/clip…
Is there any way we can help out ?

That is pretty cool Dale. I have a 55 gal aquarium just collecting dust. I
might try on of these. Thanks. I would give this a H20’d Thumbs up :)

venturi’s are not efficient at all at aerating the water, as in order to
have an effect, you need pressure from your pump, which means you decrease
pumped water volume

what would happen if you pumped more air in the air line with a air pump I
think im going to try that

Awesome venturi, the small bubbles look excellent o2. If I add a venturi
tube to the down pipe of my bell siphon it should create the same effect?
