CO2 through powerhead?

[Experiment397]

would it be plausible to plumb a CO2 line into a powerhead? the same way you would an airline so it disperses it within the water column out into the tank and not vertically like most co2 diffusers are designed to do. just thinking about the best way for co2 dispersion around a long tank.

Plumb the powerhead into a Co2 mixer / reactor.

^ that or place rhe bubbler near the outflow of the filter to circulate the Co2...

You can plumb the co2 line directly into the power head but the bubbles created will not be fine enough to be efficient. It can work but you'll be wasting much of the co2. Go with what has been stated above.

That's what I do. My diffuser is right under the flow of 2 filters so it all dissolves without reaching the surface.

I've heard some reactors break/leak easy and I didn't wanna spend the money haha.
