Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi guys/gals and thanks for stopping by.
I am deciding between two different glass diffusers to use in a 10gal planted DIY passive Co2 setup and could use some more input, reviews, help ... etc. etc.
I've decided to go with either or these two because they are cheap, easily available and can get here in a decent amount of time but I don't know which one. Both are same price but diff shapes.
1. UP Aqua UA-522: this one has a few reviews around the net and seems to be the one in most the youtube vids and seems to be a good pick. It also has a larger reservoir but I heard width matters more for the diffusion but the larger reservoir would me the Co2 is in the water longer and may dissolve more prior to disc diffusion.. true ?

2. Up Aqua UA-526: This may be a new model and looks sleeker but less reservoir and like ZERO reviews or videos on youtube that I can find... Wondering if it's for passive only or if the shape w/ less reservoir will make a difference or not ? If not I'll probably go with this one. http://www.marinedepot.com/UP_Aqua_UA_526_CO2_Glass_Diffuser_Bubble_Counters_for_Aquariums-UP_Aqua-AZ64383-FICOBC-vi.html
If anyone has reviews for it, info, advice ... etc etc. Please reply and thank you in advance.
