How to inject CO2 into Cannister Filters?

[beetlejuice403]

I am using Eden 501. I inject co2 into the cannister and use it as a form of reactor.

I do get flow blockage when I do maintanence after re-attaching the cannister cover back. I overcome this by lifting the cannister high, then switch on the power to generate smooth water flow.

Hi Ah Zhan, don't mind but can I ask how do you inject co2 into the Eden 501 filter? Is there an extra inlet tube or something? [Possible to take a pic & show? Thanks.]

I'm using this 7 Stars SF-601 Canister Filter also & I found that there's this tube thing inside the filter (don't know what its function is... Or is it meant for the CO2 injection?). Anyone else in here uses 7 Stars SF-601 also can share if you are doing so...

Thanks!

Hi bettlejuice403,

I have split your query into a seperate discussion, hopefully, you can get more response this way.

I use this: Ista co2 mix (works like a diffuser)

I connect it to the inlet tube, where you inject co2 into the "co2 mix dffuser". The water flowing in will push the diffused co2 into the cannister.

Looks like what i need. Care to share where you have got it from? Will it cause airlock in the canister if you happen pump too much CO2 into it? Does it come in different sizes for different size tubes?

Thanks Ah Zhan, will look around in the LFSs for this piece of equipment which I frequent... (Any idea the price range for a unit?)

By the way, I'm doing DIY CO2, possible to connect the tubing from my DIY CO2 setup to the inlet of the ISTA CO2 Diffuser right?

Thanks!!

DIY cannot work with this diffuser, because the pressure is not high enough. You need to have a CO2 cylinder with a regulator.

Does it come in bigger size? I plan to use it for my 2028 filter.

went to petmart..unable to find the product

they have another brand/model but that can only use inside the tank
