Just got home from the Borg with a pump that will pump up to 60' high. $80.
I will still do the venturi experiment and let everyone know how it works.
Any bets? Predictions? Mind bets?

Just for grins, I'll make a prediction. The venturi will absolutely
work, even if the venturi is above the lower tank water level. A good
venturi design will pull it to the top tank.
The air lift (bubble effect) may work depending on the size of tubing.
I would guess 1/4" of less. Seems the air would have to be introduced
below the water level. Probably would be more efficient with
controlled timing of the bubble release.
Any timetable on project completion?
