Hi all,
I just wanted to post a short video of my co2 diffusion method. I think its quite efficient. Its only an in tank atomizer which i put on the outlet of my filter. Hopefully you can see from the clip how fine the mist is. Anyone can do this, even with your typical ada difusers, as long as you find a way to hold it onto your outlet. No more worrying about big bubbles rising to the surface, and no need to have a canister either.
I think some company like CO2 art could make a simple adapter for most any tank. This way you can have the efficiency of an inline atomizer on smaller tanks without the need for a canister filter.
I would be happy to design it myself and even have the first prototype 3d printed if people were interested.

Can you show how you've fixed it to your filter.Are you now using less co2.
 
Its just an atomizer stuck to the wall with suction cups. The wall has a hole where the pump outlet is.
The flow just breaks the bubbles from the surface of the ceramic before they become bigger. I use very little co2. One soda stream bottle (les than 500g) lasts me months.
