Up near the tank so you dont require your co2 to push 8 feet of water instead of maybe a few inches.

when you do a water change, do you have to turn the c02 off? also can you recommend a good regulator on amazon? thanks.

Nope just leave it run. I use the Milwaukee Instruments MA957 you have to turn pressure up past 30 psi then regulate the flow with the needle valve that's the only thing about mine i dont like but i have not tried any of the other ones so i cant say i would recommend the MA957
