don't think your design will work.
cos you are aerating the water and causes turbulance on the water surface.
co2 will be lost so defeats the purpose of injecting co2.
Hi! Plant Enthusiastes,
After researching and looking at others builders of CO2 system,
I've been trying to build one DIY CO2 System by myself lately...
This DIY system is completely different from what you see in the market and others hobbyists:
However, it's still in the experimental stage:
Commments anyone?

Yah! Thanks for your suggestions, I've thought of that possibilty too...
The diffused CO2 will be induced by the aeration called 'Bernoulli effect'.
Goes Something like that:
"Velocity of water flow is inversly proportional to pressure."
Meaning that: higher velocity flow = lower pressure , vice versa.
That's how airplanes get the lift, and if you stand too near to the MRT line, you'll get sucked in by the trains due to this 'Bernouli Effect'...(difference in speed and pressure of yourself and the trains)
I have tried to construct 2 lines:
1 of the line will have air pumped from the air-pump and
the other line is full of CO2 from the the CO2 Generators.
(Imagine 2 MRT lines next to one another... )
Then there'll be two different pressures at these two lines.
The higher pressure at the CO2 line may get sucked or attracted to the high aeration line (high speed & low pressure line) but the hole is too small for the Co2 to escape into the aeration line, so the CO2 may get diffused upwards on its own line.
(Hope it works out fine)
The basic idea is to try "FORCING" the CO2 at the other line to diffuse slowly upwards
by using the help of a high & heavy aerated air tube next to it.
Still experimentating, will publish results again.... (if it is sucessful, - hope it works... )
Hope the aeration won't disturb the CO2 at the other line. []

Costing less than S$20 to build the entire system.
(2 x CO2 Generators + 1 x CO2 Reactor)

it doesn't make a difference
with the air being injected in you're losing co2 just as fast as your diy co2 can pump it in
you might want to use a reactor instead of letting the co2 bubble out, and lose the air pump too
