Thanks guys :) Il give it ago. Another quick question , im looking to get a BOYU nano external , do they have enough umphh to push Co2 though an inline diffuser ? Also can anyone suggest some good 1 way valve or nano diffusers :)

Hey guys iv recently got a co2 bottle and an up regulator , problem is , the bottle is slightly to tall , the next closes place will need around 3ft of tubing to reach the tank, would this be a problem ? Thanks

Anyone know if these will run at 2bar , to be able to run the bellow: http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/easy-aqua-super-mist-atomiser-small-p-5571.html And also be fine running at 2bar with an inline solenoid ?

Ah great , just got mine in the post , will be using it on a 500g JBL bottle :) Il let you know what their like to regulate the co2 :D

Do these fit FE or standard uk pub bottles ?

Anyone else , iv read that they have a built in adaptor for use with the paint ball canister. Would it be ok for use on a small co2 canister , for a nano ?

Hello has any body used one of the bellow ? EASY AQUA Co2 Plant Aquarium Simple Regulator Manometer | eBay It states that it has an inbuilt needle valve , and also can be used one the DIN 477 connection type bottles (most pub bottles and FE) It will be used on a small co2 bottle , for...

Right , has anyone got reviews on the 88g Fluval Co2 kit ? Will they fit paint ball canisters or FE ?

Hello I was woundering , could the Fluval mini co2 unit be used the same way as the Fluval 88g co2 to supply co2 ? Is the regulator ok for adjustments (around 1 bubble ever second or so) and can the regulator be used on any other canisters ? Looking for a cheap co2 unit for a small 15...

Hello guys ! Right iv have tried different makes of the good old plastic one way valve. And seems they all stick . When i say stick i mean , il turn my reg up nothing comes out , a little more still nothing and then all of a sudden i have a under water volcano of co2 ! .....Which hasn't done...

Haha not a problem, thanks guys. Im still torn between the both, also 3 bars is not a problem for me :)

Anyone ?

Hello , As the title suggests , I'm looking to buy one of the two, and would like to k now which one you guys prefer and for what reasons :P If inline is the way forward , it will be connected to a tetratec 1200 (16-22mm)

Hmm il try and find out, what size the tubing is :) I know what you mean about the bubbles , it looked like they had a neutral buoyancy. Wish my bubbles would do that !

Im thinking about going to one of those " super ". http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Best-CO2-diffuser ... 3209wt_905 The video is pretty amazing , how fine it is, near enough a fog !

Hmmmm. I just saw a diffuser on the CO2 page, which looks bloody amazing. It gives and almost fog effect. Might have to try it out. And il be running it on a 30" long tank :)

Hello :) I was wondering , there are many methods of diffusing CO2 in your water, from using the mini elite filter to chop the bubbles up , you have inline and u have the ceramic in tank ones , plus many more. The reason i ask this is , because im using a mini elite filter to chop my bubbles...

Thanks much help :). Merry Christmas to you :) Hope you have an amazing day. !

Hello i have just installed a bouy inline co2 diffuser on the outlet of my Tetratec 1200. I was just wondering how do I measure the co2 ?.

yep the one from the inside of the filter. Yh I guess I could change it for a finer one but at the moment it seems to be fine. Can you get impeller with more blades on them for the filter?

Im liking the idea of making " Double " the amount of blades on the impeller by cutting them in half and bending them, Very smart :). Will this increase power ? Also I have made it more effective already :) but will definitely do them impaler blades :). I will post a picture of what I have...

Hello I have pressurised co2 running with a Hagen elite mini filter after reading its cheap and very effective. But . . . I was wounding is there any modification I could do to make it even better at diffusing. I was thinking a small house maybe 1-2 inches in length coming out from filter unit...

Thanks George ! Its just I have a spray bar on a Tetra Tec 1200 at the moment and was looking to buy a set of lily pipes but still wanted a good circulation to move the co2 round to all spots in the tank, smart move ? or shall I stick to the spray bar ?

As stated in the title I will hopefully be buying an inline co2 diffusers. Im still torn between the the boyu and the UP. I was just wounding when one of them are fitted what type of filter outlet shall I use : ? 1. Spray bar 2. Lily pipe 3. Eheim fishtail 4. Eheim shepherd crook Or any...

thats what i will try first intank with it under my in or output from my external filter :) thanks guys

ok inline it is :D . If I have lily pipes installed will I lose any co2 ? from the surface movement

hmmmmm how bad are in tank diffusers ?

Right i have read write ups about the 2 really popular in-line co2 diffuser. I have also read people have very good results with these. The thing is a lot of Iwagumi set up style tanks and other style tanks always use a in tank diffuser any reason ? Also I thought one of the main things about...

Hello I was wondering if I had a In-line CO2 atomizer linked up to lily pipes which were braking the surface of the water would I lose any co2 from the agitation of the water ?

ok thanks im still not sure what one they all look really good and all have the ceramic diffuser plate so will they all give the same size bubbles of ?
