eductors on return line

Has anyone done this? I'm thinking about splitting my return with a more powerful pump and putting eductors on them instead of using powerheads. Is it a good idea? The return lines do not have stand pipes. They are closed from the pump to the output. Yes, I have checked to make sure the sump will not overflow during the next poweroutage.

i had one on the end of my lockline for a little bit, it was nice. it created more flow but was kind of bulky. i dont really like seing pvc or anything in my tank. reminds me of a science project or something.

I run two eductors on a SCWD in my 120. They do a good job. I still run two Koralia 4's and a couple more powerheads to sweep the BB.
