A co2 splitter may have a precise pressure control if you want to split the co2 output in the tank.
Hi,
I would like to ask if I need a co2 splitter, I am kinda leaning towards 'no' but would like to hear from the folks here.
Here's the situation. I am using a sump system, hence there's massive co2 loss in my tank, my current set up has a co2 reactor in the last chamber of the sump tank, it is powered by a separate powerhead.
I am thinking of splitting up the co2 feed, using a simple air tube t-join, and feed it into a diffuser/atomizer and place it inside the main tank. Hence my question, would this be ok? Or do I need co2 splitter?
Thanks!

If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

you'll need a co2 splitter.
without one, all the co2 will be directed to the reactor and none be available for your atomiser (needs higher pressure to work). path of lowest resistance....

Hi,
Thanks for the explanation.

for more control, a splitter is recommended.
in case of any problem, it is easier to trace and nail down the problem.
Good idea to have another CO2 diffuser in the main tank. Its best to have a splitter, it has it own bubble control valve and is safer than a t-joint. The metal t-joint might slip if rubber tube is of wrong size. It happen to me.
