If you run the CO2 tube into the bottom of the intake siphon tube the bubbles will be crushed by the impeller and dispersed into the water table for better absorption.
Keep your water level as high as possible to cut down on the filter return causing surface disturbance that will gas off the CO2 you are injecting.
You have to be careful when using an air stone, as they have a tendency to clog over time and should be periodically replaced. The filter intake is a better option.
As to the leaves. Remove them gently when they get mushy and are obviously lending no benefit to the plant.
