Hi Folks,
I have a bit of a query for you guys regarding the actual setup of a Co2 Atomizer (Direct Japanese - English translation for diffuser) that I recently picked up for a 90lt planted tank that I'm in the process of getting up and running. Now, this might seem like a bit of a "noob" question but I asked another aquatic plant head today and he didn't have the foggiest what it was for either. I have the Co2 diffuser in the tank and it is clipping along at a nice rate providing a nice green fluid in my co2 bell. This is all very well and good but in the box that the diffuser came in was a small black washer the same diameter as the ceramic disk (picture three below). At first I thought it might have been some sort of diaphragm to stop the water from flooding the diffuser after the co2 is turned off at the solenoid but then the rubber washer doesn't have any holes in it, so how can the co2 get out in the first place. It may be that this washer is just part of the packaging and doesn't need to be included but I would certainly appreciate your suggestions and comment to fix this quandary!
Box
Out of the box
and the mysterious rubber washer with no home. (that is not a hole in the centre)
