CO2 diffusers Q: Does the diffuser dissolve all the CO2 gas?
Similar to other diffusers, the inline diffuser disperses CO2 gas into a fine mist of bubbles. The turbulent flow around the diffuser disc acts to actively dissolve CO2 into the outflow stream. However, there still may be a fine mist of bubbles entering the aquarium depending on the CO2 and filter flow rate. Q: How do you clean the diffuser? A: The diffusers can be cleaned by soaking in 1:1 mixture of bleach:water for 24 hours. Depending on the amount of build up on the glass surface, longer immersion times may be needed. After that, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not scrub the diffuser disc or it may damage the fine pores.
