Did anyone every try to make this build? It should be the 'best'
So If I understand it correctly it's a Grigg style reactor. Like this one
With 3 holes drilled into it. One hole to add the co2 (as with any reactor). 2 extra holes, 1 in the top chamber and the other one 2" down from the top on the opposite side of where the co2 enters the reactor.
In the top vent you use a 3 inch rigid airline with a manual valve so it acts as a manual dump of the co2.
In one of the side holes I will connect a airline and connect it back into between my canister filter output and the reactor creating the venturi loop...? Or connect it on the inflow hoses of my eheim with something like this in between the hoses to connect the co2 tube on US $8.23 36% OFF|12/16 Mm Externe CO2 Verstuiver Diffuser Aquarium Aquarium Bubble Teller Reactor Kooldioxide Generator|CO2 Uitrusting| - AliExpress
(as I am planning to use this reactor on a canister filter) I wonder if it would also be more beneficial to use an atomizer on the outflow just before it enters the reactor. I already have this atomizers laying around. Or much better to enter the co2 in the reactor itself so it creates a bigger fighting effect between the co2 rising and the flow pushing down?
The idea about the venturi loop I think is to keep them 100% efficient and working properly. When the gas builds up it will be pulled back into your canister filter and comes later back in the reactor/ your tank.
