Here's an idea on a system for CO2 mist in a tank. This is for a 75G, 48" long.
On the right, the blue is my XP3 intake.
On the left, the blue is my XP3 spraybar.
The powerheads will be the Aquaclear Powerheads with the quickfilter attachment on each. The CO2 will be injected into the Quickfilter. Inside the quickfilter will be either a limewood airstone, or other fine output airstone. The fine bubbles will be taken directly into the powerhead, down the tubing, and out the spraybar at the bottom of the tank.
The spraybar will have holes pointed straight out, and a few at a 30 degree angle up. The amount of holes and size of holes will be at the right size so there will not be a lot of current, but a nice mist of CO2 going up through all the plants without a powerhead waving the plants all over the place. It will also be placed at the substrate level, hidden by all the plants unless you have a hole where you can see the back of the tank.
