What kind of filter are you using? The simplest, most effective, and least
cluttered method I know is to inject it into your filter. This is
particularly effective with a canister filter because almost all the CO2 is
absorbed by the time it finds its way out through the output tube/spraybar.
Just lead an airtube to the intake tube of your filter - I drilled a hole
just above the strainer to fit the tube into.

I have a picture of a DIY as well as a regular one on my website. The
diy one basically uou use a acrylic or plasatic tube, top it off with
a cap and an enterence way for the water. Fill the tube with bioballs
and then do the same with the bottem.
