Read the sticky for beginners, it covers quite a bit of what you are looking for concerning CO2.

Ah i see... Ok but still where should the Diffusers be located at? I didn't see anything on that. This is if i was going with a Ladder or one of those fine bubble things. Or a tank this small it doesn't really matter? If i put a powerhead it should be middle of the tank so i dont break the water. right?
Wyldfya any word yet?
One more thing. I have Lava rock im looking to cover in something... i have java moss on it now but its to long and make the rock look like a cheeca pet.. what are some shorter growing stuff.

Bump.
I just cleaned the tank now its sitting out side getting sand blasted (Windy/fire) bad combo. I cleaned it with wvinger. came out really nice... Still waiting on Co2/lights... gravel comes in next week.
i still need to know the placement of the co2 thing i was talking about.

The other option is to place it under the intake of your filter, and let its output disperse it.

Thanks. I have an Old Rio that has a built in airline for really fine bubbles... Im going to see if i can get it working again, It wasnt flowing fast.
now can i still shoot it across if i want 100% diffusion? I can make some kind of z tube that i hope will shoot my water down and across again with two 90d angles. Or make them 45's and have the co2 feed from the bottom

I never got 100% diffusion using the powerhead. I do get 100% with my canister now, and I'm using fewer bps than I did with the powerhead. You can also build an inline reactor...
