Question About Glass Diffuser

[danski]

well im pretty close to pressurized now since i have my regulator and diffuser . question.. i know the diffuser has the ceramic disc but can it only be used with a pressurized system? im thinking yes since i cant even blow thru the thing,and it did nothing with my hagen hooked up except build alot of back pressure in the cannister. maybe i didnt let it build enough pressure. when i unscrewed the top it released alot more pressure than normal. but after removing and checking i couldnt even get close to blowing through the thing..thanks

never mind as usual i had no patience. i hooked it back up and waited..plenty of bubbles now..sorry

So...

Glad i could be of assistance lolz

i must say though..this thing works great. ive never seen so many bubbles and they all almost completely disappear before surfacing. i guess this means i get a really good absorption rate. hope it stays this way.i got a link if anyone else is interested.

or is it small enough

 

[danski]

I going to be using the azoo one which is similar to yours except made in plastic with a built in bubble counter. These type, as long as it's a receommeded one seem to be the best in diffusion. The only drawback they have to be removed for regular cleaning as a slime coat builds up on the plate.

Can these glass diffusors be used with a DIY system, or are they just for pressurized ones?

 

[pseud]

They can be used with DIY.

I'm about to order myself one of the exact same ones, so thanks danski!

 

[danski]

no prob pseud. yes they can be used on a diy system.i have mine on a hagen system. it takes about 20min for it to build enough pressure to push it thru the ceramic.
