This is the problem: the white water nozzle is 45mm^2

We know that the white water is a high pressure drop block.

A 7mm nozzle has an area of 38mm^2 (smaller than WW)
A 3/8" barb has an internal diameter of 7mm
Therefore nozzling is only needed if the jet will be smaller than 7mm.
But a 7mm nozzle is already smaller than that of WW's

With an average pump, i.e. an Eheim, I'd go with a single nozzle entrance, possibly around 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).
The hypotetical "pump" for the project would give the flow of a 1046 (estimate).

Suggestions?
