    Hi all,
    I just setup a Co2 system in my planted tank (600L)

    And I currently have the diffuser at the bottom of the tank in the middle of the far right piece of glass.

    I’ve noticed that the flow does catch some of the bubbles but they only seem to be travelling half the distance of the tank.

    Is there any ideal position that the diffuser should be placed? e.g. right next to plants or?

    In that size tank you should have the diffuser directly under your filter return.The flow will then catch the bubbles and dissolve them better.Those bubbles not dissolved completely will be carried further across the tank.
