Default Waterblock Design - Advice Needed

Hi i posted this over at ocforums last nite and got a lot of useful information but i will post it here aswell to get a 2nd oppinion.

Im trying to design a microchannel type block simlar to the whitewater but im having diffuculty finding some of the critical dimensions.

My question is about the width of the inlet jet. How wide should this be considering i am using a eheim1250 pump? I gather this is a very important dimension and the optimal size veries with the size of pump you use.

Im planning to use 1x1mm channels with a 1mm base thickness. There will be 4mm clearance between jet and top of the channels.

My big problem is trying to design a block that works aswell as a whitewater without attualy copying it :shrug:
