Best venturi design

I'm looking for the best venturi design for micro bubbles. So far this is the best I've seen, has anyone seen better?

It is my understanding bubble size really doesn't matter, its the surface movement that oxygenates the water (bubbles agitating the surface of the water). Thats why flooming and waterfalls work so effectively.

That setup looks pretty good though.

After a bit more learning, I think I'm going to try Cap'n Style instead of RDWC. It seems like it will be a bit easier for a first grow with similar results.

You’re describing how the thing works that you are referencing, which is the child but NOT the parent (aeration).

Venturi creates a vacuum which injects air to a water stream. The water is more than oxygenated and the size of the bubbles could be altered more efficiently by putting a shower nozzle or a nylon net or mesh head on the end of your outward tube. You can clamp or screw on an attachment to further reduce bubble size.

I am simply saying you don't need bubbles, you need the surface of the water (exposed to air) to be moving. But anyways...
