|I was wandering has anyone had any luck with eheim co2 diffusers with DIY
|co2 ? Another memeber and a friend on the list - Vince Chye has a scintered
|glass / ceramic model which looks very similar to the ehim that works with
|DIY and puts out ultra small bubbles.

|Anyone else experieced this ? I think this is the most neat and non imposing

Hi Jon,
A while back, I had made a DIY diffuser.  It consisted of a regular air hose, a
sponge from a whisper 300 filter, and a small tera-cota pot (sp?).  I placed the
pot upside down in the corner of my tank.  I then placed the sponge in the hole
about half way.  I believe I actually cut it down to fit in the hole.  I then
placed the air hose down into the hole along side the sponge.

With this method, I saw the CO2 bubbles suspended in the sponge, and very few
actually let go.  Hope this helps
-Lee
