    Hey sponsorians!!

    I'm looking for a good glass Co2 Diffuser. I'd like a bell diffuser, but I know they are difficult to get hold of. A ladder system would also be nice. Please can you suggest something that will work nicely in a 430l planted tank. I'd obviously like it to be a good brand, but I don't know too much about these things.

    Thanks in advance

    Sean

    Hmmm... I'm probably going to sound snobbish, but I'd prefer a glass one.

    Sponsors?

    Slagter, I once saw a ladder diffuser at the LFS at the Little Falls nursery for about R200. I haven't been there for awhile so dunno if they still have it.

    Its made by Nutrafin/Hagen and its plastic. Bryan used it for his plant tank and said it was pretty decent. Price wise I seem to remember it being in excess of R300...

    I think it would be a relatively simple device to make?

    I'm tired of DIY. I want RTI products... Ready To Install. LOL!! But I want a good make, not an elcheapo that I'll have to replace in a few weeks/months.

    It is used to add carbon dioxide to your water which helps with plant growth.

    As far as I know a diffuser is what puts the Co2 in to the water I use my power head or am I wrong........ It forces the Co2 into the water
