I connect my CO2 reactor from canister outlet and rain bar at the end to help spread the water with CO2 to the whole 4ft tank. And all plants after 2-3 hrs can see lot of bubble (few hundreds) on the leaves and some release to water surface. I have a huge Japonica and Tiger red lotus in the tank and it did block a bit of the water going to the other side so less bubble on that site.
My other 3ft tank use glass type co2 diffuser and the result was very poor cause only few plants have little bubble, cause the CO2 didn't dissolve properly and lot of co2 wasted after reach the surface of water.
Search on the forum for CO2 reactor or u can DIY one to help you on the current problem.
I intend to do one soon .. no time to find the hardware ...
I use CO2 diffuser (10cm tall version) for my 3 feet tank, 1.5 bps, and on round the clock, all my plant, moss and downoi are ok, and my tank is into the 18mth ; But I have less than 20 tetra, about 50 shrimps and one puffer;
