Seems like too much surface agitation... I haven't used these on planted tanks, but have the "other" mod kit in my reefs and they have a ball joint which allows you to point the powerhead in any direction, I think if you were able to point it downwards to reduce surface agitation you should be able to reduce the loss of CO2. Otherwise erogate more CO2...
Here's the kits I use
Hope that helps
