CO2 diffusor or reactor?

[Binks]

Hi i have a Dupla diffuser for my 18inch cube, would it be better to change over to a reactor like the one sold by Midori? http://www.midori-sg.com/prodview.ph...arch_catalog=2

Or is my diffuser sufficient for the type of tank I have now.

Hi Binks:

I like that CO2 reactor, thanks for sharing.

Reactors are way more effective than difussors into dissolving CO2 in water, however since your volume of water is small I would let the plants decide if they really need more of what they are getting.

Wait for the experts replies, since I am actually a newbie.

Gracias Pepe. Well so far the Riccia has been pearling quite well...I'll take your advice and wait a bit longer...

Diffuser should be ok for your tank size, if not, you can upgrade to a bigger size. Diffuser tends to clog after sometimes, and we will need to bleah it to unclog it.

Personally I do not like internal reactor as they take up place in the tank and also affect the look of the tank. For the reactor to be effective, it depends greatly on the flow of your filter.

Hope this helps.
