i think i am going to keep the spraybar/bubblewand thingy just because i went through all the effort to put it all together. and when it comes down to it it really is not that much hardware in the tank, and it will be hidden behind my drift wood and maybe eventually i can get java moss to grow on it and cover it i will take a pic of it an post it so you can get a better idea of what i am doing here
and if that does not work ill just run the tube through the UGJ system. Either way some of the Co2 bubbles will make it through the UGJ system

ok so getting the pictures up really did not work for me basically in the end it looks like a spray bar...
so i hook it up and it seems to be working great i get a mixture of small and large bubbles out of it and since the bubble wand is inside of the spray bar the Co2 and air et trapped inside and kinda swirled around for a little bit before it has the time to escape through the holes in the actual spray bar
now i have another question
how lond do you think that the water yeast and sugar mixture will put gas off fore before i need to make up a new batch?

You'll know when the co2 container stops producing co2. I put a U loop in the co2 line with a little water in that and you can see how fast or slow the gas flow is.

Don't use too much yeast. I'd go with 1 teaspoon per 6 cups sugar and 2/3s a gallon warm water.
