GIGGETY-GIGGETY!!
first off ..my voice isn't quite right...I've been ill, sorry. i'm not a great narrator anyways.
for those of you who want to build a simple venturi to aerate your filter or use right in the pond on a pump used for circulation. this is the easiest and cheapest design i could come up with.

note the scotch tape wrapped around the pen tube because i lost the peice of tubing i would ordinarily use.
now if your plumbing in your filter is bigger than your hose. you can put a cap on the larger diameter pipe of your filter, and drill a hole to accept the output of the venturi. those who say they get air bubbling up threw their media because of the street "T" connection on their down pipe will be suprised at what an actual venturi will do.
heres a little demo...

...once you get the venturi completed and the air tube glued in...you can cut the extra pen (tube) off. leave a 1/2" or so. if this is used underwater you can slide a rubber hose on the air tube that reaches above water, or even connect an air pump.
i do hope this tutorial helps those who want to encorporate a venturi into their system.
