Most Efficient Diffusion Method

[Spiceweasel69]

Regulator, drop checker and fire extinguisher on thier way

So its time to look at a diffuser, as without good diffusion and co2 uptake into the water, the rest is useless. Ive used ceramics before which produce tiny bubbles which blow around the tank, but id like to get something that nears 100% diffusion.
Are atomisers just the same as ceramic diffusers? I only run an eheim 2213 so wouldnt a reactor restrict my flow?
Also seen in line diffusers on ebay (HK and China) has anyone purchased and are they any good?

Thanks all

I hear inline are some of the best you can get. Heard some good stuff.

Would a ceramic diffuser under my strainer intake not do a similar thing?

You'd more than likely end up with gas pockets in your filter slowing flow and damaging filter. Best ones on the market are UP inline atomizers.

Are these the ones on ebay from far east? Always a gamble, are they available in the UK?

Also, as a ceramic, dont they need regular cleaning?

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Yeah they're available in the UK but I got both mine from Hong Kong on separate occasions and they both arrived a week later.
