Update: Did the nozzle, disapointing results.

I think my pump is too weak for the task. is rated at 1.4m head 800L/h; roughly similar to an eheim 1048

I made some flow tests timing the filling of a one gallon container:

-Pump with filter and 1m hose = 25 seconds.

-Full system without nozzle = 40.5 seconds.

-With 6.5mm ID nozzle = 48 seconds.

The temps stayed the same with the nozzle, maybe a bit higher. Its difficult to know with 1ºc monitoring resolution.

So looking at this results I have a question for cathar: Does the middle (nozzle) plate of white water make any performance dif whith such a pump? Maybe it just impact flowrate, but not temps.
