Hi All, I decided to throw a Co2 reactor chamber to saturate Co2 prior to flowing water to a Calcium Reactor. I realize the way I set it up is incorrect bc bubbles immediately go into the calcium reactor chamber instead of flowing through this reactor chamber. I brainstormed a couple options how to get the best saturation of Co2 prior to flowing to the calcium reactor.

1. Make no modifications to the reactor and add flow restrictor that pushes bubbles further down so the return pump can mix the Co2 into the water.
2. Create a tee off the return pump and add intakes for both Co2 and Tank water then pulled through the return.

the two options are an inspiration based on OrionN's modification. I attached the current setup diagram, not the best but should show flow and where the issues reside.

My setup is a pull setup using a kamoer pump and gravity feeding the reactor. Thank you in advance.

I don’t see the diagram.
