The inline CO2 Atomizer 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. As a result, this atomizer dissolves CO2 very efficiently, and provides a stream of very tiny bubbles which exit directly out of your filter outlet. Furthermore, because it is kept outside the aquarium, maintenance is a very easy.
To use this CO2 atomizer, simply connect it, in-line, to your external filter outlet pipe and tighten the nuts. Connect your CO2 regulator to the atomizers CO2 input with air hose tubing and tighten the safety nut. The tiny bubbles that the atomizer produces will then spread evenly around the whole tank, ensuring a uniform spread of CO2.
