Recommend a pressurized CO2 system

[fresh_newby]

I have it plumbed with my UV in the output side. I run 2 Eheim ProII 2026's on my 90 gal because not only the reactor, but the UV lowers output, so I run two of them. If you don't want to run two, you can plumb it in your filter, and add a powerhead to increase water movement. it all depends on why type of filter you have and how many gal your tank is. I have the inline heater running on the other Eheim.

check out this thread. This is the one I based my initial set up on

that's an excellent picture, thanks!

i have a single 2026 eheim pro and the hydor inline heater too, on a 50gal. So i guess our ratio is similar, although i dont use UV. Wanted on the output tube as well but that means i need connectors to bend the tube so the flow is going downwards first (so co2 bubbles will be against current) then upward like in the pics. hmm..

will probably remove some bioballs so i dont lower the gph too much.

For the Rex Grigg reactor, I don't put anything inside the pipe? All the pre-made reactors I've seen have bioballs in them. Also, would I silicone around the CO2 tubing to prevent leaks?

Final (I hope) question. My ecco filter are run with bio-wheel pro units. Will these reduce my CO2 levels too much?

Nothing needed in those reactors. I run them naked. Let physics do the work.
