Re: [APD] stainless steel diffusers for "the mist"

["Rory O'Brien" <rory_obrien at stonebow.otago.ac.nz>]

I have a sintered glass diffuser (akin to the Boyu model) sitting neatly
inside a Fluval 2 internal filter (with no media inside). As the diffuser is
entirely in the dark, there's little cleaning required and the synergistic
effect of the already fine bubbles being fed directly into the impellor
chamber creates a very fine mist pumped throughout the tank. All it required
was a small hole drilled into the back of the filter body to accommodate the
CO2 line (I had a spare filter body sitting around which is why I tried it
in the first place...). Mist and circulation in one small package.
