CO2 injection point

[Alex Cheng]

Planning my new tank and I was looking at one of the one's done by Amano and I noticed he injected his CO2 into the outflow line before the UV filter.

I had a look at my setup and I realized that this would work for me as well since my UV light has spirals to force the water into longer contact with the UV, similar to some of the CO2 reactors available. So I could use the UV chamber to dissolve CO2 as well.

Basically I would need a T join with 17mm pipe and a small nipple for the CO2 hose.

Has anyone made anything like this before or seen something commercially available?

Thanks,
Alex

You can probably find what you want at a large hardware store like Lowes.

If your in australia you could make something with some 15mm pvc a 15mm "T" and a 15mm cap all from bunnings.

use plumbers cement to fix it all together then drill a small hole for your co2 feed and silicone it in (I'd use an airline T on the inside to make sure it stays).
