External Co2 venturi reactor - quick question

**jflng** · 01-30-2008, 08:55 PM

What is the best method for connecting the venturi loop to the intake of a powerhead? Will simply fastening the open tube end to the powerheads inflow grill suffice? Will this be enough suction?

i actually stuck it into the impeller grill and superglued it in.. its very close to the blades, less than 1/4"

You can modify the impeller as well to get even finer mist.

OK thanks, so I don't have to worry about suction then?
What would modifying the impeller generally entail?
