Measured where?

We are talking about a radius here dealing with velocity?

I mean, where do you pinpoint this at?

Come on, this is a DIY thread and those numbers don't mean anything without nailing down specifics like at least where you measure this velocity at, and doubt many would buy a book that has crazy math in it.

This will all change quite a bit depending on tank diameter and water depth, so some insight would be nice on a DIY rig.

I mentioned that I may have a few questions.
