Jason,

You can plumb the mazzei that way (inline with the canister) it is just that the mazzei will REDUCE the flow in the tank and may affect other things like the distribution of your c02.


That is why Tom uses the ball valve/loop and there is usually a separate and/or beefed up main pump.


They are more for big tanks.

FYI, now that I have it correct, my 180 has DC green all over using an aqua medic 1000 with a venturi loop.

Plenty of c02, etc.

Why do you want a mazzei so bad? What is the application?
