I been a long time fresh water tank owner. i finally decided to create a yeast co2 setup. I was wondering the best way to diffuse the co2 and my local fish store said i can just have the co2 go into the intake of the pump and the spinning gear will diffuse the co2 into the water. Thats how i have it setup now. Is this a good method or should i get a wood stone? thanks for any input




10 gallon eclipse tank. It has the filter that sucks the water up and it flows accross a flat filter then onto a bio wheel before falling into tank.
 
yeah that should work fine for you.
you have something working against you though. your filter is going to off gas your co2. anytime that you have any surface agitation your co2 is leaving your tank. and your bio wheel is increasing it a lot
 
with diy never put it into the intake. put it bellow. the suction can suck the air and then the mixture into your tank.
