Hi all! As some of you may know, I am turning my 29 gallon into a high light + co2 injected tank :D I'll be doing DIY co2. When I was on chat, and asked what a good diffuser was, someone linked me a cheap nano glass+ceramic diffuser. However, I am now hearing some people say that DIY co2 doesn't produce enough pressure for those diffusers to work. I'll be using two 2-liter co2 reactors. Do you think that the glass+ceramic diffuser will be OK, or should I look into a different diffusion method?
 
yo,

a while ago there was someone posting in diy about a co2 rig not working, he had a dirt-cheap glass diffussor of ebay. but in fact that wasn't the problem, it was the bottlecap leaking. so you sould be fine.
i use a am reactor 1000 myself.
 
Reactors are best if you're using a canister, but barring that, DIY CO2 pressure should be able to make many ceramic diffusors work, but not atomic diffusors.
