Hi,
Im using a JBL spiral diffuser with my DIY yeast setup, im getting plenty of bubbles from the setup but im concerned about how much of it is actually diffusing into the water.
The bubbles do shrink in size as they go up the spiral, but im left with perhaps pea-sized bubbles at the top which just build up and eventually pop out of the top of the diffuser and to the water surface. Id say only 1/4 of the bubble that comes out of the pipe is actually diffused into the water.
Droper checker indicates good co2 levels all round the tank, but is it this normal with any setup to see so much waste co2 escaping? Would an alternative diffuser help make things more efficient?
Thanks!
