Diffuser And Myriophyllum

[stevereade]

Ok, first thing is I've been looking at nano glass diffusers on ebay and found some 2cm diameter glass diffusers and it says for pressurised use not the yeast kit, will this work with the DIY yeast AC method around 45BPM ish? Other thing is my myriophyllum is growing so fast and needs trimming all the time but can I replant these tops?

Suppose I'd better state what I'm using at the moment, was using an airstone under my nutrafin ladder but I'm having to stick my arm in the tank every day to mess with it and I just want something reliable really.

i don't know the definitive answer, as i have never used a glass diffuser with DIY, but i would expect its not a very good idea due to the ceramic ring that have loads of little hole being blocked in no time, due to the kind of C02.

Well I'm using the same bubble counter as AC which eliminates the gunk in the diffuser so that shouldn't be a problem.

Ive used a glass diffuser with DIY co2 and it worked fine. I think it says you shouldnt because the pressure of DIY wouldnt be high enough to pass through the ceramic diffuser.

See I thought it would work as if its enough pressure to get through the airstone it should work with a glass diffuser.
