Why are these Co2 bubbles so big..

That's the video I been looking at for a while now, Looks pretty much the same as when I only use 1 bps.

All the diffusers I see give this description
"Ceramic diffusion plate dissolves 90% of CO2 that pass through it"

There has to be something on the planet that will only produce SUPER tiny little bubbles?
Does anyone know what the type of ceramic that is used in these diffusers is? I might be able to make something.

or
I just might have to get some kind of reactor.. :werd:


I know what my Co2 level is at, but If I get more bubbles to dissolve, I would not be wasting so much Co2. If I can get all the Co2 to dissolve, this 5lb tank will last me about 2 to 3 times longer.
 
i think thats totally fine. Though for your size tank i would get a bigger diffuser, that looks like a nano version.
Use a drop checker to see what your co2 level is actually at

I was wondering about what differences I would see with different sized diffusers?
I was asking these questions before I bought my Nano, but not really any technical responses, so I just bought this one.
 
more surface area my rhinox 5000 is 2" in diameter

Do you get the super tiny micro bubbles with yours or is it normal size bubbles like what is shown in the video?

hard to tell from the video the exact size of bubbles but mine are close to that. I dont think you will ever get all the bubbles that come out of the diffuser to diffuse. Unless you have a really really tall tank.

Heres a video of my limewood airstone from a while back going at 1bps

I just might have to try one of those limewood air stones and see what I get with that.
 
will those work with DIY??
