yesterday I switched my co2 input from across the Powerhead venturi, where i could see visible bubble loss and larger bubbles. to my powerheads intake. both this powerhead and my fluval return point toward the left side of my tank. Immediatley I saw a swirl of itty bitty bubbles. they go across the top down and straight across all my plants.

issues.
flow itself prevents build up of co2 bubbles on leaves. and i have the powerhead turned all the way to the slowest setting. it's a hagen 201. my tank is a 29. and i runt he light 10 hours a day.
on the otherhand it passes constantly right by every plant in the tank, so some touching must be going on. It's been only one day so nothing to tell yet. just thought i'd give something to update to.
