DIY co2

Nope. Just moves right on through. The nice thing is the the impellar chops it up so it maximizes the amount that remains in your water (I doubted that line at first myself... but it sure 'nuff works) give a shot you won't be sorry,.

I have mine under my tank in a cabinet. Ran the airline up and into the tank and directly into the intake for my canister filter (just stuck it in the grill and the bubbles go right up the tube (you can see and hear them... that is how I know it is working, lol).

It really does make a difference running it through your filter. No bubbles at all so I have to assume that I am getting the maximum about of co2 I could with the DIY with my recipe (i.e. I am not gassing out any co2). Now I wish I had more light to help maximize teh benefit of the co2.

lol i wish i had less light but cant find a single bulb that will fit in my canopy.
 
I have mine right where the water is comming out of my hanging filter. I wonder if it would be better if I just put the line in there or if it would be the same as what I have now?
 
if your talking about running it up your outtake i wouldnt. i would run it up the intake if its a canister i think it would work in the intake of a internal filter but it would be useless in a hob.
 
Agreed. In an HOB I would guess it would gas out a signficant amount. The benefit of the canister is that (1) it is under pressure and (2) it is stays within the water, e.g. no contact with the outside air. At least that is the way it was explained to me... and, Dan, there are no stupid questions... there are just some questions that are better than others, lol. Just kidding. I am a newbie myself (just a newbie with a tad bit of OCD...)
