Ok, so I have a large tank, 350l, 5ft long, and I need to increase my diffusion.
I currently have the co2 diffused by a ceramic diffuser in the middle of the tank on the rear, that feeds directly into an internal filter that in theory chops it up and blows it into the tank water. I have a Koralia nano above this to drive the bubbles down the front glass.
I also have 2 spray bars at the rear of the tank powered by 2 TT EX1200 to get that water flowing around the tank. I can post some pictures of the setup tomorrow if that helps.
Problem is, im not getting good enough diffusion of the co2. The bubbles are still quite large, and a lot of it still rises to the surface of the tank. I get my drop checker to lime green, but I need quite a high bubble rate to do this.
I am unsure what else to try. My regulator has a fixed pressure of about 1.75 ish, so I think its too low to get an UP Inline atomizer.
Any ideas?
