I'm thinking about converting my powerhead/sponge filter/CO2 mist generator to this venturi diffuser design, with a sponge filter on the water inlet. This would be for when I switch tanks from a 29 gallon to a 45 gallon. But, my powerhead output will dig up the substrate now if I direct it towards the bottom, so will the output of this reactor do the same, for the same water flow? Will this diffuser work as well if I add an elbow at the bottom to direct the output more parallel to the substrate?
The reasons I am looking to do this are:
I'm getting a bit tired of the tankful of champaign look.
I'm not at all sure my Maxijet 600 will successfully spread CO2 mist in the new tank.
I think I can get a more uniform CO2 ppm with a diffuser, with a higher ppm, with less CO2 used.
I like to tinker!
