Thanx for all the info guys, I'm more confident in doing this now

I'm seriously doing some big-time research now into DIY co2 generators.
It's
looking easier and easier. I'm planning to skip the idea of having a
reactor
and for now have the bubbles directly pumping into my 15gal. aquarium. Can
I
put the exhaust tubing from the generator directly up in the intake tube
on
my Aquaclear power filter? I'm thinking it can suck in the bubbles and the
tubine will mash them up and the gases will be longer kept in the water by
the filter...being absorbed more slowly.

p.s., also, can one paint or darken the co2 bottle? Will it affect the
chemical process any? I'd like to do it just for asthetics

Is this correct?
THANX!!
