  • Co2 with an overflow

    Anyone run a co2 system on a planted tank with an overflow? How much extrA co2 do you think you have to use to compensate for extra turbulance of the overflo and return pump?
    Just a question to create conversation.

    Build a reactor. Mine is almost the height of the stand and it is connected to my wet/dry. Worked pretty well in my opinion, but I was not trying anything delicate.

        Reactor is connected to the pump so it can be taken back to the tank.

          So it would be the same as putting a reactor on a canister filter...
