Get rid of circulation pumps for res

[gottaloveplasma]

So I was looking at reservoirs and came up with an idea from a vortex brewer. They have a hole in the bottom that goes to a run that comes up the side and back in the top. You get your air line and put it into a PVC? Pipe that shoots it back into the bucket at an angle. The air line shooting air in will cause the water to syphon up the top like a venturi and I causes a water spout and waterfall effect that loops back up. You could do this with 55g drums. I even seen reservoirs that are like cones with spout at bottom. Perhaps those would even work better. Violla no more need for circulating pump.

Well thought this would be good thread. Be able to ditch a circulation pump in your reservoir less equipment to break / buy.
