You're better off using a higher pressure pump than the dart.
I use one of these at the top: http://www.championlighting.com/home.php?cat=638

It is realtively compact and you get a single ball joint type thing to direct flow.

I agree that a higher pressure pump would be better. The eductors increase water velocity by tapering down at the nozzle which in turn places more pressure on your pump.

yeah but pressure pumps are less energy efficiant.
im definitly considering saying screw the pump and go with a series of 12 watt koralia 4's

or you can get the new koralia magnum pumps, the magnum 8 puts out over 3000gph and it is only 169.99 at marine depot, but they are doing pre orders now.
