    Hi folks,

    I read about this somewhere but i can't find enough details to do it myself.

    how do i feed CO2 into the output water stream of my Ehiem filter?

    i have a bubble counter, two check valves, and a rain bar (from my ehiem filter)

    pls advise. thanks

    u can directly feed the CO2 tubing into the inlet pipe (cut a hole big enuff then silicone).. i heard using this method cause the breaking down of the impeller

    i will second simon on this one......it is possible but a big risk if you ask me....if too much CO2 gas gets into the chamber causing an air pocket, your impeller magnet will get scratch up pretty bad as it overheats.
