The thing with an eductor is that you are going to have to limit the amount of air it can pull not to exceed 13% and when you do that, you end up with something that is not as efficient as a Beckett Head.

What kind of pump are you running on the modified Beckett? From what I have read, it allows you to run a smaller pump while keeping bubble production up. And, how did it compare to the standard Beckett?

I am running a Panworld 150 PS.
I posted questions about the eductor and my skimmer mod here.
In my case the modified beckett did out perform the stock unit.
