Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could cast an experienced eye over the placement of my Co2 and filter equipment on my tank. I'm pretty inexperienced and could really do with some advice.

Here is a pictures a picture with the placement marked out.

The hashed box at the top is an area where there is visible bubbles (presumably Co2) on the surface. Defuser is behind the rock and underneath the inlet to the filter, any not caught by that are sucked in, then pushed out by the power head.

Tank details :-
240 litre (100(w) x 140(h) x 42cm)
2xT5 39w + reflectors
TGM supplied Co2 on 3kg cylinder
Fluval 405 filter
Hydor Koralia 1 power head
 
Thanks Dan! I am waiting on a suction cup from TGM that was missing from my "upgraded" (from the standard) defuser to arrive, once it does I'll place that defuser directly under the inlet.

Would I be better off having the outlet lower down and the inlet higher up?

Also I have the power head pointing to to middle of the tank, at the wood. Is this the best place for it. Would I get better circularion of Co2 if it was placed differently?
