How do I circulate CO2 in my aquarium?
​Diffuser – a diffuser allows an effective method for CO2 to enter the aquarium. The CO2 is pushed through a porous medium that breaks down the gas into a fine mist of bubbles. These bubbles are then more easily absorbed by your aquarium water. Position your diffuser on the oposite side to your out-let flow.
How does CO2 reactor work?
Water fills the reactor and spins the impellers inside the chamber. Carbon dioxide gas enters at the top of the reactor. The spinning impellers increase contact time with the gas. The CO2-rich water is then pumped into the aquarium.
When should I put CO2 in my aquarium?
