Anyone use one before?

[tcampbell]

I purchased this Diffuser today, though it seems more like a reactor then a diffuser to me.
Cost about 500 NT or 16 dollars CDN. Works a lot better than my previous diffuser.
Anything bad about it?

Seems to work great. Though I see the small CO2 bubbles coming through the rain bar. Is that because my canister filter is too powerful?

I'm using the Vista stainless steel inline diffusor in your 2nd - 4th pictures, for over 2 years in my 20L.

Excellent stuff. It never clogs up.

If you don't like to see the bubbles, plumb it into the intake hose of your cannister. That'll give the bubbles more time to dissolve in the filter. I used to do that and had good results.

Recently, I changed it to the outlet hose, following the "new line of thinking" that CO2 bubbles blown directly to the undersides of leaves is even better. Now growth had been phenomenal.

I have only two small complaints for this piece of kit.
1) The tacky plastic made me hesitate in buying more pieces and now, I'm kicking myself because I've been searching the LFS for more with no luck in finding one.
2) It works better with a stronger flow rate if plumbed to the output end -- with weak flow, the fine bubbles can't be pushed over the bend of the J tube down through the rainbar, but in my 20L tank where I deploy this, that amount of flow means I cannot keep still water fish.

You should keep up with the high flow, and point the rainbar at the plants. Do a search on this forum with the keywords "CO2 Mist"

Good buy. I'm happy for you.

Is the 2nd and 4th pictures refering to the same thing?

This should be a taiwanese produce. If anyone know where to get this in Singapore pls let me know. Thanks,

first time coming across this, but this is suppose to be install submersed or the way tcampbell did??
i suppose the common reactor are still better in some way, anyone have comments on these two items?
how is the co2 diffused using the campbell's diffusor?

Rickietay - This is the way my local shop uses it, on the return. Though it can be hooked either way, in the tank or outside. If on the intake it cases a Co2 build up in the canister filter, leading to a lot of noise, and huge bursts of CO2 gurgles in the tank.

Common reactor would probably discover CO2 better but it is a lot bigger and I really don't have the room.

how is the co2 diffused using the campbell's diffusor?
The glass part fills with water and CO2 is pushed in just like a traditional diffuser, the CO2 and water mix. Normal flow goes through he grey part. The CO2/water diffisers through the grey material being pushed through the rainbar and into the tank. You see a CO2 mist in the tank. Very very fine mist. And you do not see bubbles escaping to the surface like with an in tank glass ceramic diffiser.

Though the English transaltion is rather terrible, here goes.
I ahve included the Chinese side as well.

I have contacted the company and will hopefully be redesigning some of their product packaging and redoing the English.

But I need to learn to type better first! Oops, sorry for the typing mistakes. Need sleep. Night

judging from the link, the diffusor are rated well, but do have some negative points and limitation.
seems worthing to own one.
Campbell, do update us with comments and reviews on the efficiency of the product.
