Ill keep this simple,

i) Do you need a seperate bubble counter to be able measure the CO2 rate?

Cheers

depends on your glass diffuser some have built in bubble counters, some dont, some can become bubble counters when water seeps into the glass diffuser hehe..

i agree ^^^^^ mines has what seems to be a built in bubble counter because i can clearly see and count if necessary the bubbles passing thru the spiral.im not sure if thats what its for or how accurate but there are bubbles..

What about this one?

I'd say that has a bubble counter in it. The bubbles will pop into chamber where you can count them. They will accumulate and diffuse through the ceramic disk. I wouldn't set it up the way the picture is displaying it. Turn it on its side, so it looks like;

Cheers people,

Yeh had thought myself that it would need 'standing up,' will see how it goes.

if you look at the one with the spiral it states it can double as a bubble counter and the one you have in your link mentions nothing about a bubble counter but i have no experience with the one with no spiral..if you follow your link then look down to the bottom youll see the one with the spiral and you can read up on it acting as a bubble counter..

I think you might need the separate bubble counter (if you go for the little one and not the spiral one) - perhaps check with Richard at Aquaessentials. He was very helpful when I asked him for advice !

Phew! Richard was just about to post my order, have added a bubble counter to my order.

I would have to agree! Mine arrived this morning too! And even after I was a bit of a pain changing the order!

EDIT - which diffuser did you get? I got the mini one, its really cute! Will fit into my mini tank theme really well.

I got the spiral one as it's for my 19US gallon tank.

Yes, the little one should be perfect for your tank
