    IMHO, DIY CO2 can reach enough pressure to drive ceramic diffuser if the seal is air-tight enough. Most frequently it is due to leak at the connection between cap and the air tube when pressure built-up.

    It may take a while to reach the pressure within few hours but it will get there. Many ways to ensure a tight seal. Mine is using a mechanical fastening method (forcing a nut over a airtube connector) with Blutak as gasket.

    Want to compliment this is a really nice tree scape !!! Can see a lot of patience in to it.

    Sorry for the late reply...been very busy lately. For this setup, Yes, I do leave it in 24/7. But for other shrimp setup, here's what I do.
    The contraption is easily removable as shown in this video. So I just place it in another container at night and move it back again before going to work.

    Thanks bro. Yes! I agree. So long as the seal is airtight, it should be able to generate a decent amount of bubbles even through a ceramic diffuser.

    In my case, I use superglue, hard tubing and "Araldite" plastic bond that you can buy from your friendly neighbourhood bargain store. Here's how it looks like. You have to mix small amount from both tubes before applying.


    I use superglue to glue about 6cm of the hard tubing to the cap and then apply the mix - both on top and inside the cap. This works better than silicone.

    Re: My Taiwan Tree

    Here's how the tank looks like after some trimming....around a 100 days now.
    I've replaced the downoi with staurogyne. I guess the LED isn't bright enough for the
    more demanding plants.
