    I don't see much else on that German site to purchase. The diffuser is worthwhile though.

    Re: DIY a way to prevent water droplet sprays from bursting bubbles

    I just read this thread, sorry to bring up a 1 month old thread. But doesn't the CO2 diffuser as shown produce small-mist like bubbles as well which will reduce droplet sprays from bursting bubbles? It is also aesthetically pleasing. Why are CO2 diffusers not used as air stones then? Is there any reason to this? Isit because there is too little surface agitation thus not allowing O2 into the wateR? Sorry if it was mentioned and I missed it out.

    CO2 diffusers made from ceramic or other materials, require a high working pressure to function properly. It is not wise to link them up to an air pump because the pump will be working much harder just to force air through the diffuser material.

    I was just about to ask this question! Because I was thinking of "diffusing" oxygen via such CO2 diffusers instead of the typical air-stone. Reason is because these diffusers can make the air supply input much finer, & in general they (the equipment) look nicer. So, glad you cleared up this potential pitfall for me even before I asked. Haha! Now to look for nicer-looking air-stone.

    Its not impossible per say, just that you'll need an air pump with a high working pressure and you would not be able to support as many airstones as diffusers on it.

    Thanks for the input! Was just wondering. I don't mind air pump working harder to get a more aesthetically pleasing air! Haha. Shall check purchase one!
