Default Co2

is it better to put ur diy co2 into a filter / power head or something. rather than just putting it in the tank?

If you want the CO2 disspersed through out the tank more to drop the pH and what not then sticking the air hose buy the filter or PH will work better.

I'm going to take my 29g planted tank that has been going fairly decent since adding co2 into a 55g with 5000k T8 lights 4bulbs @ 60w each X 4 thats 240w total
thanks to overdriving, my question is this on my 29g i have the diy co2 and have the airline with a air stone next to the intake on my penguin wihtout the bio wheel and its doing pretty decent i'd say, with the 55g i have going it has a wet dry system, what if i used 2 bottles of diy c02 in the 55g with air stone on each end giong into the final part of the wet dry after all the pre filters and bio balls basically it would be in the same side that the water gets sucked back into the tank
think that woudl be ok ??
