To serve the aqua lifter function I just used a powerhead with an air line to the top of the HOB part. With a venturi to suck some air/water from the siphon to the powerhead.
To test I put an air pump output under the in tank drain. bubbles were sucked to the power haed away from the sihpon. It also sucks out air to get it going initially.
