Trailblazur Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Was finally thinking about adding the COOP regulator and cO2 to my planted aquarium. Iβm a complete noob to c02 as far as that goes tho. Β Itβs a 220 gallon 8β ft tank. What do I need to consider as far as diffuser placement to maximize effectivenessπ€·πΌββοΈπ€·πΌββοΈπ€·πΌββοΈπ Or I suppose I could run it through my sump for better circulation π€π€π€ Iβve only seen videos that show the small in tank diffuser, which I canβt imagine working as intended in my size tank OR an in-line diffuser for a canister, but Iβm not really looking to add a canister to my sump lol Β I have two return pumps in my last return chamber in the sump and they push up to two return loc lines (one on each end of the tank) They are both at water level right now to help break the surface tension and so there wouldnβt be a potential humongous water back siphon into the sump. So not sure how to make this work lol. Thanks for any tipsπππ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Youβll want to run a reactor on a tank that size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit up @Mmiller2001 journal to check out his setup. Apart from the view of the plants there is a lot of details and insight about running CO2 in there as well.
