CO2 Reactor inline with Intake?

[Steveo McNello]

I'm just wondering if, since the water is already traveling down against the bubbles dissolving them, if I can put my reactor on the intake hose of my fx5? It would sure make things a lot easier. Just wondering if it's possible.

Needs to go on the output. It's said that bubbles could damage your pumps impeller.

Ah yes that's right. Thanks again man.

Ebay you can find a generic ADA style ceramic ring diffuser for like $10. That is what I use for my DIY CO2.

Jcardona, what setup do you recommend for plumbing into your canister output? Links?

J has been helping me build my own reactor. I bought some of the pieces, just need a few more.

I like the DIY rex grigg-style reactor made out of PVC. Tried and true method with good results. For tanks over 30g, this is way to go, or using a needle-wheel pump.
