Co2 Nano Diffuser Isn't Working. Help Please.

[FishCrazyBenBOMB]

Hey AA Members, Whats up?


I ordered a Nano Diffuser way long time ago from aquabid. Anyways I left it in one of my planted tanks for awhile without it actually running. Now it won't diffuse Co2 through it anymore, it ends up building up in my DIY Co2 thing until the top pops off. Any ideas how to get it working again?

I tried soaking it in vinager and salt, and that didn't work. I tried scrapping at the top and scrubing it clean and that didn't work either.

So you got any ideas for fixing it?

Thanks to whoever replies,
Ben

If its one of those nano glass diffusers, they don't usually work well with diy co2. There isn't enough pressure behind it to make it work. And yes I understand that it worked initially, but maybe not so much now. Might want to look into something like a limewood diffuser. They work well with diy co2 and make fine bubbles.

If its glass, boil it. Or bleach the plate then soak it in prime.

i would go with the bleach soak.
a lot of diffusors dont work well with diy but it seems like more and more are made to work with diy.
