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.

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 Razz

Midway, we've got them for 20 bucks each...
a bit pricy but it's worked great for me, think I might readapt it with that bamboo skewer idea daniil linked to
direct a tiny stream of bubbles into the bubble ladder seems like alot better than big bubbles... hmmm

They are talking about the in wall tank that has a big bubble in the front, Instead of a bow front!
