    Hi,

    How do you guys place your inlet and outlet of your canister filter in your tank? My outlet is at the front let corner and the inlet is at the rear right corner. I have a CO2 reactor at the outlet.

    However, the pH I measure using a pH pen at different parts of the tank range between 6.4 to 6.8. i assume that it due to the poor circulation.

    What do you think?

    You could add a rainbar to the reactor outlet, that will certainly help circulation.

    Thanks I just did that.
    However with the rainbar, the flow reduce significiantly.

    Poke bigger/more holes in your rainbar...

    will the rainbar cause co2 loss?

    Not if its underwater enough that no surface turbulence is created.
