I'm thinking of designing a yeast co2 system out of an old canister filter that I have. The filter doesn't work, but might be able to be fixed if I get another tank, so I don't want to do any irrepairable damage.

Reading articles I've found and posts here, I thought I could kill two birds with one stone and build a reactor inside the canister as well.

My thoughts:
Build a seperate container in the canister to generate the co2.
Run a pipe with checkvalve to the top of the canister where a little resevoir will contain the co2.
Connect the co2 canister inline with the filtering canister so it fills with water.
The pump of the co2 filter will not be used. The filtering canister will pull the water from the co2 canister which will be fed with the tank output hose.

Does anyone see a hole in this plan?
