I am not sure I follow this. Unless you are saying you need two pumps. If run the gasses that are in the reactor back to the intake of my canister filter won't the gases just keep taking the scenic route through my filter to the reactor and back over and over again?

It would make more sense to me to run the gas over fill tube to a totally separate pump or power head. That would really get it out of the filter loop. It might even work if you just routed it down stream of the reactor in the output side of the canister. You might get a venurti effect that would draw it out or you might just pump the same water through the reactor over and over again.

Thanks
