CO2 diffuser

[wolfiewill]

I'm would like to try a CO2 diffuser similar to the ADA varieties. I want something practical and maybe later trying one of the pretty glass ones. What type do you guys suggest? I've heard that the glass stuff looks good but is fragile and difficult to clean. Any thoughts?

Personally the glass co2 diffusers work great and are quite easy to clean with a light solution of bleach and water. But I prefer the dc stainless diffuser only because I'm less worried about breaking it. One glass diffuser I would avoid sltogether is the two in one (bubble counter and diffuser) because cleaning it is a nightmare.

Sounds right for me. Where can I get them? I can only find Aqua Inspirations as a source.

The glass diffusers can be bought off ebay. I have the small glass diffuser below and it works fine. The stainless ones are better at AI than the link below. I would even suggest trying the atomizer diffusers, they work very well, but you need a good amount of working pressure to make it work (30-40psi) so you'd need a pressurized system.

Thanks. I'm going to try one. Cheers.
