Inline CO2 reactor?

[Timmain42]

Can someone tell me why this wouldn't work? This diagram assumes that the height of the first reactor chamber is not enough to completely diffuse the CO2, and identical reactors chambers are added inline to provide more diffusion area.

It's probably used for a safety "back-up". I don't know how but when I used an inline diffuser, I kept getting air-locked in my Filstar XP3. I have just removed and replumbed it to add the CO2 directly into the intake "cap" of the XP3. It seems to be running much faster speed (GPH) and much quieter already! I have also added 3 more sponges and even some carbon (temporary usage). This is a pretty good jump up from my previous GPH water movement with a "Reactor 1000" on the intake side.

I can't see why it wouldn't work. I also cannot see it getting around the trickling sound of water that occurs from having gas inside the chamber. It may alleviate any air getting into the filter (assuming it is inline before the filter). Ummm...did I answer anything???

Maybe... I think I should have titled this thread "LINEAR CO2 reactor." This reactor doesn't really get "inline" before or after the actual filter, it's a secondary system all on it's own (hence the SWF as a visual explanation). The LINEAR part is 2+ identical cylinders acting a bubble traps for the CO2, holding it in the columns until it's all dissolved. I can get over the sound of air bubbles, nothing new in my house.
