oic bro... finally i understand what u mean by lasting for 4 wks...
hehe ... i all along thught that it is bubbling strongly throughout the 4 wks...
only get abit smaller hehe....

It seems air stones require lesser pressure but the buibbles are less fine as well... since less pressure is required the bubbling probably should last longer. Any experience on this?

I think if air stone can give your plants sufficient co2 then you can just stick to it...what kind of air stone can give you finest bubbles? Or generally all air stone works then same ?

Well... finer bubbles results in greater and more effecient dissolving of the CO2 mah... the finest I've tried are the ceramic diffusers. A higher air pressure however is needed to force the bubbles out for ceramic diffusers. Can't get best of both worlds.

yup yup I'm using the normal rough surface airstone.. tried wood airdiffuser before but large bubbles were produced instead..... less effective.

in my opinion the small cylindrical shape one is better...
as for the round type... i think the pores bigger and angle not very gd...
buble only come out from one spot then bubbles also bigger (mayb observation is due to i didnt place it properly hehe)
