they are a way to increase the flow in an aquarium. for every gallon that is pushed through the initial nozzle 5 is pushed through the exit nozzle. these require high pressure pumps. generally pumps that are able to pump at least 23' of head pressure! this is not for your normal Mag series pumps here. i think only the Mag 36 is capable of pushing 23' of head pressure.

i use eductors on my Velocity T3's and T1's. these pumps are capable of pumping 28' of head pressure.
