That diffuser won't cope with your 330l if that's what you're using it on.

Atomisers and reactors are good if you have external filter pipes you can plug into.

ah okay cool i was just reading up on defusers

i was planning to buy a powerhead to put over the defuser to blow around the bubbles, saw this setup in the fish shop with like a 1000L tank i think they used two of these defusers and it did look impressive i haft to admit

 

[Zikofski]

Okay i was looking at the Defusers particular the one you use inline with the Filter, is it posible to have two of them, as i have two filters but only one CO2 system but split it using a Y connector?

Is there a drop checker in there somewhere that I missed when reading? I saw you'd got your bromo blue and 4dKH solution, but you need a drop checker to put it in

Another thing to look at is to find a local fire supplies company that you could get supplies of out of date fire extinguishers for. Normally you'll get them free or really cheap since they would be throwing them out anyways. It would just save you a bit of money on the FE and refills.

With the inline diffuser, just use one on one filter as otherwise you will lose pressure on the tubing and it won't diffuse properly.

no but yes i was looking at one, but thank you for the info regarding the inline defuser and FE i dont think there is one near by plus my local fish shop charges more to refil them than it is to buy a new one sadly i need to find a place that refills them cheap lol
