So real quick. I started keeping a 46 Gallon BF a few months ago. I asked a few questions on here but quickly learned all the info you really need can be found with a simple search of past threads. So much information some of it is way over my head. Either way this has gone from a simple lets...

I was planning to do a DIY Co2 system in my 46 gallon planted tank. I have a Penguin 200 with biowheel and a Whisper 30. I was planning to put the line from the Co2 in the intake for the Penguin 200 but I was wondering if this would defeat the purpose of the biowheel and I'm better off putting...
