Heh... well.. yeah, I'd stick a 3/16" (output from air pump) hose down into the 3/8" hose.. but I'd make sure there was enough room between the hoses for the air to return back up to the pump... kinda like this:

Where the .'s inside the bigger tube represent the water level, and the ,'s on top of the bigger tube but in the atmosphere only let air out... or you could just have the air return completely enclose the air pump... as long as it is cooled properly. Was thinking my oil thing could work this way.. just have the oil return (the ,'s) rise back into the pump chamber... have those be dyed with blue Dye Lite and the water with green or something

BTW - The `'s are place holders.. the ASCII didn't format right with out them. (Reason for edit).
