The Inline Atomizer CO2 Diffuser is arguably the most well known product used for CO2 diffusion, and is a firm favourite with planted aquarium specialists around the world. Designed for use with various filter size tubing, this CO2 diffuser sits inline between your filter and the filter outlet, ensuring that the CO2 has as much contact time with the water as possible.
The atomizer diffuser dissolves CO2 very efficiently, and provides a stream of very tiny bubbles which exit directly from the filter outlet. Because the bubbles are in the flow of current from the filter this ensure the bubbles remain in suspension for longer and further improves the level of diffusion.
Furthermore, because the diffuser is deployed outside the aquarium, maintenance is a very easy.
