Putting the co2 diffuser next to the filter inlet?

[GillesF]

Installed my atomizer on the inlet side, I'm looking forward to seeing the results tomorrow. Should I decrease the BPS somewhat?

I would let it run at the BPS that you had it at before and observe it, then change the BPS according to what is needed by looking at your drop checker and by Eye. You may not need to change it at all.

I am trying to reconfigure how I distribute CO2 in my 180 litre and wondered about placing the diffuser under one filter inlet. I run two Eheim 2217s with spray bars (each filter covering a half of the tank) and wondered if anyone else has tried CO2 into the inlet of one filter only. Did you get CO2 distributed over all the tank or was it uneveny distributed on one side?

do people think it would be ok to run my aquamedic 1000 reactor on the inlet side of my 2080 to aid flow a bit , i am getting just about 100% co2 dissolving in the reactor with few bubbles in the tank but flow from the filter is not as good as i would have expected

i found this article while scouring the net on co2 diffuser placement http://fins.actwin.com/aquatic-plants/m ... 00236.html

the only thing your going to gain by placing the reactor on the inlet pipe is a reactor full of dirt, if you have co2 bubbles entering the tank you have not got 100% mix and as for the flow from the filter - the reactor is slowly the flow or returning water.
