number 4 says it can be connect to co2 supply. i have nutrifin co2 currently connected to the ladder diffuser. would it be better to connect it to the filter?

thankss

yes, as the CO2 will be distributed throught more of the tank

if it is broken up by the filter pads etc then blown out, otherwise a nano diffuser of ebay put under the filter outlet would give you near enough 100% diffusion rates

 

[tom_os]

so if it goes through the filter pads then no

but if it is connect to the output of the filter then yes?

if it goes through filter pads yes, but if it is just in the outlet it will be wasted, it will just rise to the surface as the bubbles arent small enough. try it either way

 

[tom_os]

basically what it does is it has a tube that sticks above the surface and sucks in air to help airate the water. it says you can connect a co2 tube to it.

by the way i dont have this filter yet. hence why i am not sure myself

That'll be a Venturi valve, which generally tends to be in the outlet nozzle, so won't really have the desired effect.
