quick-y co2 diffuser question

[ddavila06]

hey guys! got an annoying question:

does it matter if i use a small co2 diffuser for my moms 75? im going to refill my tank soon and was just wondering...i was looking at a little one on e-bay and i was tihnking on putting it under the koralia or something

Yes, a small diffuser will product large bubbles with the amount of CO2 you would have to put into it for the 75. You want a mist coming out of the diffuser.

ah ok, i see some really fancy ones online, can someone suggest a simple design to try out? if all the bigger ones are that expensive i might just hook the hose into the fluval canister filter which is what i did before without getting air-lock, but the occasional bubble-burst which honestly didnt really bother me...

For your best price, you may want to check ebay; look for the ones with the largest diameter ceramic discs. It may be possible to use a tee connector and split the CO2 using 2 medium size diffusers on opposite ends of the tank. I've never tried this, just saying, if the smaller ones are more economical.

Damian,

Buddy! I have an extra 4-1/2 glass diffuser and also an inline diffuser the one that Ben and Jeff are talking about. Let me know if you want it and it's yours. PM me for my address!
