Anything wrong with this outflow setup???

[Fran]

Hi all, I will be starting my new project very soon (once new cabinet arrives) and was planning the following outflow setup:-

Up Aqua inline diffuser on outflow pipe and followed by Hydor inline heater and then into JBL nozzle. This setup will enable be to have the tubing at the rear of the tank and not the side as would happen if I use lilly pipes. (so my infant son can't get at the tubing). Also, the hydor can hang vertically and I can view the diffuser and examine it regularly.

My concern is that the co2 enriched water would somehow damage or effect the Hydor. I know co2 can damage seals on filters etc. Does anyone see a problem with this setup. Any advice appreciated.

My 2p, install the Hydor before the diffuser. Hydors have a somewhat sketchy reputation at best for failure rates, although I've not had a problem with mine.

Before or after the inline diffuser wont make a difference. If anything, the diffuser before the hydor means the gas will travel longer and dissolve better. Mine is set up exactly like this.
