<p>It's a thought but you would loose a lot of energy in the conversion. What I did is: On my pump there is a "T" fitting at the output of my pump used to hook up a frog that was suppose to sit beside the pond and spit water out of his mouth. It runs off a 1/4" line.

Now I only have 20 bluegills in a 100 gallon…</p>
