CO2 Active Diffuser 100% efficency

[supersaltwaterfish]

doesnt look nice. 

[fire124816]

What is the name of the grass like plant in the back?



[godzilar35]

hay i have lots of algae in my tank do you have tips thanks

[AussiePrideCrew]

@godzilar35 what kind of fish do you have also what temp is the water ? im guessing it gets abit of sunlight either from the real sun or lighting ? use a algae removal product but i warn you it may knock about your fish best solution is to buy a pleco they are algae eaters

[godzilar35]

@AussiePrideCrew i only have a crown tail betta in their right now i was planig on geting pleco

the water temp is tropical because i have some plants in their i allso just made a co2 diffusion

and its and it gets like 10-hours of lite witch im guessing it to much thanks

[AussiePrideCrew]

@godzilar35 yeah 10 hour's is alot try using a wet cloth and just removing it the old fashion way with some elbow grease :)

[godzilar35]

@AussiePrideCrew ok thanks can i mex gravel and sand in the tank

[AussiePrideCrew]

@godzilar35 you can but id wonder why besides making a cretain look as in theme for your tank sand usally gets moved about a far bit by in tank currents from pumps and such and if your using a pump that sits lower in the tank the is the poss ability of sand being sucked in and you will require cleaning the pump but there is ways around that so overall yes you can but it has to be sand that doesn't contain salt

[rigo564]

a very good idea

[OtakuShazam]

Looks pretty cool and fancy. Actually took my attention away from your tank lol.

[ReefAdvicer]

i thought it was a bong at first

[HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9]

you can smoke weed with that thing all so lol

[juankeyboard1]

Como construiste esta maquina?... porfavor ensename a hacerla!

[MrMustique]

how does it work?

[takadi]

What did you use to cap off the top of the oil lamp?

[iamsuperbleeder]

lol, that little pleco was swimming his heart out against that current

[billm90]

I have built something very similar. I like your glass piece. I used plastic tube used to cover T12 tube lights to see the bubbles. Mine goes into PVC T fitting under the gravel and out into to PVC tubes into squeezed down PVC pipes which peak out above the gravel. it is a Co2 difuser and a gravel jet to keep the waste suspended.

This design does in fact work. And work well.

[leandronalbandian]

it is an ordinary power head. isn`t it?

[azncardninja169]

hey it works, but just my opinion on it

1) i dont like that there is an actual bubble of air (water dripping down from filter, i dont know why but I would think problems would occur from that, i dont know i just dont like it) but it works, so good job.

[TheiRenaissance]

honestly if you are trying for just a healthy ecosystem id use air if my system could aerate that much. its gonna be plenty of co2 and also a more natural mix of oxygen and the rest. if you are trying for lots of plant growth then of course CO2... but i like this design for its "violence", lotsa diffusion. a lil big, but with a purpose built smaller glass, or even just a tube into the gravel, i think rather than mess with CO2 id just do that, with air. would be like a pocket waterfall.

[ryan12381793]

what kind of substrate? looks like play sand to me

[devilclio]

looks crap though

[arashfotograf]

what do this CO2 Active Diffuser really do? im a saltwater akvarist... its may bee good for my akvariums

[vqfive]

cool idea but you got that big ugly thing inside your tank!. ruins the whole purpose of your natural planted tank LOL

[whatscrakn101]

are u using yeast and sugar ?

[vqfive]

cool idea but you got that big ugly glass inside your tank! you need to disguise it hide it from view.

[stoyashot]

What is this type of glass? Is it an old lamp glass? You know the ones that are put over a candle? Please tell me.

[qntt2002]

Yes! This was an old oil lamp.

[stoyashot]

I'm gonna steal this idea by using an old soda bottle as the vase. Think itll work just fine .

[datzfast]

wont you suffocate the fish if this is CO2

[lozgod]

No because the plants give off O2 as they use the CO2.

[guitars415]

You can gas the fish if you go over 40+ ppm of CO2. This is why you have a drop checker so you can measure the amount of CO2 in the water.

[iamnub672]

what type of powerhead is this?

[Maverik2591]

No se de cuantos litros sera el acuario, pero creo que tiene demasiada corriente de agua... ese Otonciclus pobre no puede estar tranquilo...

[whatscrakn101]

BORING

[lizdid707]

what kind of grass is that in the back? it looks nice

[glasforex]

vallisneria

[d2jsp911]

sux camera

[blownable]

why didn't you put it at the back of the tank?

[d2jsp911]

hi, what kind of filter that you are using for the Co2

[yjengwen]

camera man .....works....bad......

[FreshwaterfishEnthus]

what kind of filer do you have on the tank.? do you have a problem with the c02 being dispursed into the air because of your filter?

[kestboeim]

zaat filmken

[pimpinisanart]

Damn that thing is enormous. Regular Co2 diffusers are pretty effecient already, personally I don't see the benefit of adding such a scene killer to my aquarium just for a little extra gas.

[zerocool212121]

if u dont want the eye sore then get a fluval canister and have ur co² inject into the intake and by the time it leaves the canister it is 100% diffused into the water so u arent losing co²  canisters work best because u want less surface movement, its where u lose ur co² bty nice macgyver skills

[reconn08]

It is very good. I did an one just like this. It works fine :P:P:P

[fesojistheshit]

is that for a old lamp?

[Mer0vech]

yes, from naftlamp ;-0

[quaqa88]

Wow! It way be sort of an eye swore in the tank but that is a 100% effective diffusor. Nice tank also!

[HiDeguild]

That looks like a hagen in-tank micro filter with a plastic bulb affixed to the output and a CO2 source attached to the venturi air intake.

Anyways, it looks like a heck of an efficient diffuser. Kudos!

[greenaquarium]

look at this 29 gal tank on greenaquarium channel

[rkjames79]

what's the name of that differser, it looks effective.

[aquamono]

plz can u enlight me about this process cause i have plants but they arent green as yours

[HildeIII]

So you have the co2 going into the control hole of the powerhead? The output of the powerhead goes into the tube? How is the powerhead connected to the tube? Is there are cork or did you drill a hole into the glas? What was the tube?

[HildeIII]

so how is the glosso. doing? I am a bit confused as to where the Co2 is coming out?

[cepacol06]

the co2 dissolves into the water, rather than letting it to the atmosphere.

[quaqa88]

Not the prettiest thing in the world but I guess it works well.

[Laurensnl]

It holds the CO2 bubbles into the aquarium. So the CO2 must diffuse into the water.

[XxcaptainwinkyxX]

execpt with a diffuser u have no clue how much c02 is goin into the water. it is actually possible for the co2 to reach a lethal level. i just dont like how much space a reactor takes up.

[XxcaptainwinkyxX]

why on earth would u want that huge glass thing taking up so much space in ur tank, its pretty ugly and its not like u have it hidden, get a co2 ladder much smaller and u can actually c how much co2 is goin in tank. cost 20 $ maximum

[frozenbarbz]

co2 ladder sucks and doesnt diffuse as much as a reactor would.

That glass thing looks pretty neat compared to a ladder.

[hatstalker]

no offence but nothing is 100% efficient read up on simple laws of physics and chemistry especialy displacement lol noob

[HarlanAshmore]

theres no bubbles coming out the bottom so i'd call it 100%

[dauwg99]

thanks a lot for the help. im trying to grow glossostigma elatinoideses. r they hard to grow?

[dauwg99]

how can u tell if the co2 is being properly dissolved and the plants are taking it in? i see in many shops that the plants give out little bubbles of oxygen but i dont see any in mine

[qntt2002]

You need lots of light and fertilizers for the pearling effect. Usually an aquarium with bubbling plants is right on the limit of what is possible and also very hard to maintain into a stable state. If you are a beginner good plant growth and no algae are what you should strive for.

[Meowbay]

@qntt2002 Exactly, you'll get bubbles on plants when you put your tank in sunlight for a few days. But you'll also get a lot of algae.

[wilbeckj]

@Meowbay I use 3 algae suckers and 5 snails for algae in a 55 Gal aquarium in constant sunlight. The plants grow like crazy and the algae is under control too. Or you can buy anti-algae pills for your aquarium, those for the most part work as well.

[Nic3o3]

Where did you get the glass piece? Is it actually an oil lamp?

[qntt2002]

Yes. It is the glass from a oil lamp.

[superstevie001]

youve got one in your living room so why not in the tank plus im sure i saw the same thing up your ass and that is ugly get a mirror

[FarangBalls]

Does anone know where I can buy super small powerheads?

[jonerez]

I agree.

DIY is much more efficent!

Why waste your money on the expensive gizmos?

[arthropoda]

looks great, much more efficient than the expensive diffusers.

[Cardnim]

... use an ADA glass diffuser?

... use a CO2 'mist' setup?

... hide it with plants?

... place the reactor outside your tank in a sump?

... dont inject CO2?

Come on, use your brain!!! If you dont like the design ammend it, but you have to admit it is a very efficient design.

[Cardnim]

After seeing this, I order the parts to make my own!

Can I ask how you got a good join between the glass of the oil lamp chimney, and the plastic pipe from the power head - I cant quite make it out on the video.

Thanks for posting it btw, top stuff :)

[nicdangeryt]

Fantastic! Converting mine to this design tomorrow. My setup is not nearly as efficient. My plants thank you.

[chainer22]

nice diffuser! wish i had one like that. mine telling me what powerhead u using? is the white tube delivering CO2 into the outlet of the powerhead?

[qntt2002]

The smallest power head I was able to find thru my aquarium junk. About 100 / 150l per hour. And... Yes the white tube is feeding CO2.

[qntt2002]

You understand exactly what I was trying to do. Variable water speed is the key. It was so efficient that my aquarium plants exploded in growth rate. Sadly I left them without CO2 for about one week and the result was disastrous. 80% of my plants dyed of. Now I am looking for a PH meter and an pressurized CO2 container to avoid such mishaps in the future.

[TheKillHaa]

thats good, i dont see any bublee goint out from the weird bottle,, is like shoud be, i have somethig with the same criteria..
