I will not be able to have the refuguium above the tank. Right now the plan is to have it under the stand with the sump. What I am trying to find out is a way to make a Venturi eductor work. As I have said, there are many applications out there that use the Venturi eductor to dewater ships. These systems are very reliable, since many sailors (like myself) depend on them to work in our time of need. I have also seen these type of things to increase flow for pumps and to induce air bubles in protein skimmers. This can be accomplished, I'm just looking for a little help getting there.

The Python Syphon also uses this principle to create a suction that allows you to drain/clean your tank. They have obviously found an inexpensive way to accomplish this. What I am looking for is a way to take this idea and apply this to my plumbing design. Here is a pic that shows the Python Syphon.
