The vortex reactor is totally different than that of yours. There is a huge difference. I suggest that you reanalyse the pictures.

In my vortex reactor, the CO2 enters the tube from the top and accumulates on the top part of the reactor. Then the 'CO2 gas' creates /becomes a vortex with the driving force of the H2O coming up the filter and thus dissoves totally (since the friction is much higher).

Your reactor's working principle is a copy of certain protein skimmers. The CO2 breaks up inside the filter pipe and enters the reactor. In this model the CO2 does not create a vortex. They are sucked in by the powerhead and then spreyed inside the reactor.

I hope that now you realize that neither the idea nor the reactor is the same.
Perhaps in the future you will be more careful before making such comments.
