Talking DIM CO2 diffuser

Hi Everyone,

Just want to share my DIM over-the-top CO2 diffuser

Was initially using the regular diffuser, but was irritated as over time the smallish water chamber get clog up after sometime or the propeller just refuse to spin anymore thus end up with lots of micro bubbles in the tank.

And its a chore to disconnect the hose just to clean the damn diffuser, finally decided to make one using acrylic tube and some laser cut 10mm acrylic as cover and base.

I know its really over doing but i think the side benefit is some additional filtering volume in return.

photo to share:



Cheers,

The tube I salvage from my company workshop, and to laser cut the base and top cover cost me $50, the nylon screws are quite cheap around $5 i think

Glad you like it

A cheaper and easier alternative will be using those water filter that are sold in bathroom accessories shop, also saw NA selling them in their shop.

Cheers,
