Hey peeps
Would appreciate some help and advice.
So I have a 350l tank with a Fluval FX5 running it. At the moment I have a C02 extinguisher going through a solenoid then into an in tank diffuser. But due to me needing to angle my filter outlets upwards to create more surface agitation, I am wasting a lot of C02 to atmosphere. So I think it's time for an inline reactor.
Because I dont want to reduce the flow too much by plumbing in the reactor straight after the filter, I like the idea of creating a bypass for the reactor like I have seen someone suggest on here.
Because the Fluval hosing is ribbed, am I going to have to change it for a solid hose like Eheim hosing? Or is there a way round plumbing in the bypass to the Fluval hosing?
Also can someone please let me know what parts and sizing I am going to need to plumb it all in?
Thanks
