Thanks Louis Z ! I understand the low flow requirement . I do have the Eheim Classic XL canister filter and was wondering whether it is a good choice for this venturè . I could remove the pump and go with a lower flow rate pump . My only hurdle is whether to plumb this canister filter connected from the display tank drain pipe or just placed it in the sump with a lower flow rate pump attached , pulling water coming from the display tank drain .

Since i just found this thread and did not have the book , does the sponge prefer nutrient rich water or bacteria laden water ?
