Hey guys,
I was thinking of drilling a hole in my spray bar for my CO2 to go directly into. I'm not sure if this will work because I don't want just a big bubble just popping out. They spray bar is from a mini canister, so the holes are pretty small compared to the regular tubing holes. Do you think that the circulation through the spray bar tube will chop up the CO2 enough before entering the tank?
 
I doubt it. You'll end up blowing large bubbles of co2 out, which will gas out to the open air immediately. Best way to diffuse co2 is to make the bubble fight against a stream of water (PVC reactor) or get chopped up by a pump's impeller (needle wheel pump).
