Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok, so now that I've got my Hagen system working properly (with the nice "little" ladder) I figured out what was the problem with my DIY generator. I had an air leak in my "water catching" bottle, so I've since bypassed that and I'm getting good generation from both the Hagen and the DIY. The reactor for the DIY is just an airstone, which I know doesn't do a lot but I'm short on space and don't want anything elaborate.
My question is this. Where is the best place to put a CO2 airstone? I have a HOB filter (just a 10 gallon). I would think that the best places would be either under the discharge of the HOB so that the bubbles get tossed around in the current for a little longer, or under the suction (trying that now). Under the suction would let the impeller mash the bubbles pretty well, and it's a little noisy, but will I lose CO2 in the filter? Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.
TIA
