1 thing to take note.. if CO2 is not well dissolved, especially for canister filter like Eheim, it will cause the filter motor to wear off faster as CO2 is trapped in his filter..

another thing to note for your case, using over head filter is not a recommended setup when CO2 is injected into the tank.. CO2 will escape especially when water is sprayed onto the filter bed before going back into the tank..
Think you agree with me that the CO2 will dissolve as it travels through the tube. Will the CO2 "escape" when the water sprays onto the filter bed once they were dissolved??
