Hey all, i set up a diy co2 system, and for a diffuser i used an internal filter which i just rigged to chop up the co2. it does make some noise, but overall i don't mind. I attached a video so you can see the fine burst of bubbles that shoots out into the tank. The bursts of small bubbles are overall sporadic, i counted 40 bursts in one minute. Will this be a good method of introducing co2? In an adjacent smaller tank, i use the same co2 production method, only a ladder diffuser to introduce the co2. Im hoping this will help stimulate growth and reduce some algae I'm seeing on the plants. Any other tips or advice? thanks all!

Be sure to use to use a bubble counter so none of the solution makes it into the tank..
 
thanks! i do have one, you can see it in the video at 25 seconds. I am very excited to see how the plants react over time to the co2.
