The booster pump is probably not the only way to go. There is a ton of information on protien skimmers, and I've been reading a lot. There are pumps that have special impellers that break up the bubbles. I don't know if you would get a bubble that is small enough. The smaller the bubble, the less surface area, and the more time it takes for the bubble to diffuse, and therefore can get Co2 moved all over the tank.
I've sent the following to Mazzei's engineering support for some help,

I am trying to design an in line Co2 injection system for an aquarium. I am currently using model #287 with a eheim pump (2.2 PSI). I have not had any luck and I think I need a higher pressure pump. I am thinking about using the pump listed in this article which provides 4.8 PSI of pressure.

Maybe I need to select a bigger injector for it to work? I can use either 1/2" or 3/4" sizes. Would I be better off with your model #784?
Does a bigger injector require more pressure difference to work? The Co2 that I am injecting is under pressure, and I am looking for a really fine mist. I assumed that the 3/16" would give me the smallest bubbles, but I am not real sure about how venturi's work. I would like to write an article on my results, so any help would help.
