    Hi guys,
    Just a quict one for you. have tried diffusers but not got great results. have tried inline worked great but can leak, when it fails oh boy does it fail big time.
    so was thinking of just fitting the c02 hose to the end of the outlet for my canister filter, let it get chopped up and feed back in by the inlet, any views or thoughts, would it work.

    I can't see any safe way for you to feed the CO2 line into the filter output without asking for problems. I would try and place the inline atomizer above the tank somehow so if it leaks, at least it leaks back in the tank and not on the floor. If you have it set properly, that's the most efficient way to diffuse the CO2 in a tank, the other methods always have some loss in a way or another.
