Ninja one nice thing about the variable pumps is the speed ramps up very slowly when powered on vs on/off like the others, so no hammering on your plumbing when cycling. I think this will serve you well considering the size of your pump and back pressure from the venturis.

I couldn't wait... i just ordered the small dcp 2500 one for the cloner's venturi. so now i have two coming in the mail. lol
I'm glad that I got the sine wave DC models. I read on multiple sites that the ones that aren't have an annoying buzz, and the sine wave models don't.
 
still waiting on more, but some of the cool toys have come in.

this jebao dcp-6500 is massive!! no joke massive. those are 2" inlet/outlets. rated up to 1800 gph or something. this will run a 4 (was 3) site venturi manifold to raise DO.

this is the Danner mag pro 7. i think 700 gph. this will run the supply lines from the rez to the plant sites. this will be configured inline.

I love when parts come in and you can actually start doing stuff instead of thinking about it every waking minute lol. So fun.

Tell me about it!!! It's been all i think about lately, checking the status of orders and making sure i ordered everything.

Sucks when you get sent white pvc fittings instead of the black ones you ordered.. Then in an email this morning, the company tells me that they are out of the ones i want, and would i be ok with black 3" T fittings? why the fuck would i want 3" anything when i ordered 25' of 2" piping from you? I understand someone in customer service is just trying to be nice, but come on now... Just because you have another size in black, that's not how it works...

so i'll just be spray painting them black i guess. Looks like everything else i need should be here this week.
 
It's not super neat... I realized afterwards maybe I could do this all on a custom board to make it neat and then I got high and bought this $5 poster to hide the wires instead....

I probably could have done this a million different ways, but I used these air compressor intake silencers at the end of the venturi air source. This greatly reduces the sound of the venturi.

Want to share in case someone else has a noisy venturi they want to fix
