On saturday, I will be picking up a 44G corner tank, with the plans of making it a planted tank. I've been toying around with the idea of making my own filter/co2 reactor. I've come up with the following concept...
The casing will be made of acrylic, and will containt 4 compartments. The first at the bottom will be where the CO2 is inserted. The water flowing upwards will force the CO2 through a sponge (I am thinking about two, the first being coarse and the second being ultra-fine), then up through the carbon filter, then again up through the bio filter, and out. The "circles" you see in between the compartments are lips as to maximize the amount of water/co2 that flows through the media.
The contraption at the bottom is a power head - forgot to label it. I am wondering if this will really work?
I am open to suggestions!
PS: Please forgive the misspelling of sponge, it's been a long day!
