| What does everyone use for a co2 diffuser, just set up a DIY Co2 unit, and purchased a cheap glass diffuser off of ebay, will be here in a week. Right now I just have a green air stone on the bottom of my airline tubing. What does everyone else use and recommend? Any thing that will help dissolve the co2 a little better? Or DIY diffusers? |

| glass diffuser needs about 7-10 psi to work properly. DIY Co2 unit will not produce that pressure. You can read in this link hoe to make DIY Diffuser. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/diy-aquarium-projects/72381-diy-diffuser.html |

| Probably one of my favorite DIY diffusers is a chopstick, just shove a chopstick into the airline tubing... produces very fine bubbles IME. I got rid of my bamboo and got a good old bubble ladder instead, works a tiny bit better. Another option would be a wood airstone diffuser generally used for skimmers... but they work the same as a chopstick and cost 4 bucks each  |
