hey guys I need some suggestion for the ideal placement of co2 diffuser in my planted tank.
this is what I have on my 46 gallon:
20oz pressurized co2
a glass diffuser
two fluval c4 HOB filter( little wet&dry system in there).
a 425 gph circulation pump.
a fluval co2 drop checker
from these equipment, what's best place I can place the diffuser?
I have heard people place the diffuser under the filter intake, but I think that wouldn't work for me, because the wet&dry will off gas many co2?
should I place the circulation pump right above the diffuser? I have tried that it blows bubble all over the tank, but I can't tell if it's really dissolved or not.
I have lots of agitation at the surface due to the HOB filters, what's the best way to minimize the off gas co2?
I'm really frustrated, because I didn't see much improvements on my plant growth, pls help.
one more question, where should I place my drop checker, will the tiny co2 bubble been blowed around trap under the drop checker, and influence the reading ?
