I decided to go with my old red sea yeast set up again to get better plant growth in my 55g aquarium. The plants are ok but with my high light enviroment I thought it would be better with co2 in order to obtain a more modest growth (lighting: 2- 96 watt CF @ 6500k each- roughly 3.5w/g ). If I put the co2 line directly under the fluval intake will it damage the componenets of the cannister filter? I read mixed reviews on the search sites here at AC. I have been doing this for 5 days with good reults already and a litttle pearling with the microswords and no airlocks or funny sounds from the fluval...still quiet as ever. After several bubblel counts, it ends up to be 15 - 25 bubbles/minute. I don't want to mess with reactors and such if I don't have, but I also don'want to shorten the lifespan of my fluval filter.
co2 into intake of my fluval 304?

When I went the DIY route I used the intake of my Rena...no issues, but I only ran it for a couple of months.
you will need more then that to really have a effect in the tank. think about 2-3 diy 2 liter bottles. as for the input put the tube under the intake so the bubbles go up and suck into it. with diy you wouldnt want the filter to start sucking up the mixture.
