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,

If you intend to use the 287 then I'd suggest drafting the Co2 through the intake of an Ocean Runner 1700. This works like gangbusters !

If you intend to run off the output of your 2224 I'd suggest using 5/8" barb x 3/4 mpt reducers and the 784, but you will want to augment the gas port down to 1/16" > or less. Remember that the internal gas orifice is actually quite a bit smaller than the external barb. Depending on the model type of Venturi you are using Mazzei does carry stainless steel drop in ports for gas injection. HTH Prof M
