Do you need a diffuser for CO2?
Should you need to decrease the amount of CO2 in your aquarium, do so by reducing your bubbles per second. ​Diffuser – a diffuser allows an effective method for CO2 to enter the aquarium. The CO2 is pushed through a porous medium that breaks down the gas into a fine mist of bubbles.
Are inline CO2 diffusers good?
INLINE REACTOR They are very efficient compared to atomizers/diffusers and for people that can’t stand CO2 mist in the tank, they are the ideal choice. Their efficiency and dissolution rate depends on the design of the particular reactor, and the flow rate of the filter/pump that powers it.
How many CO2 diffusers do I need?
In aquaria with a larger volume (500 liters or more) or with an appropriate length (1.50 meters or more), it can make sense to use two diffusers. These are installed on the left and right side of the aquarium and ensure a better, more constant CO2 distribution.
How long does a CO2 diffuser last?
At a bubble every few seconds, the canister should last approximately 2-3 weeks. It is possible some CO2 escaped while adjusting the unit or attaching the CO2 cylinder.
How much does CO2 diffuser cost?

Does too much CO2 cause algae blooms?
The good news is, YOU DO NOT have to experience algae in your planted aquarium. Algae normally appears when there is an imbalance in nutrients, CO2, oxygen and light. For example, too much light but too few nutrients and CO2 will cause algae. Poor distribution of CO2 and nutrients is also a common cause of algae.
What is a CO2 diffuser?
The diffuser is an add-on or standalone device and its main purpose is to dissolve the CO2 from the regulator into the aquarium. The CO2 diffuser is attached to the tubing connected at the bubble counter, part of the CO2 regulator.
What is an Airstone diffuser?
Diffusers are generally plastic, or metal bodied with large ceramic stones inset. Oxygen is pushed through the ceramic stone creating a fine misty sheet of microbubbles. Microbubbles are desirable for their good surface-to-volume ratio, which allow excellent gas exchange with the water.
