Featuring a built-in integrated spiral bubble counter, this unit eliminates the need for separate external monitoring equipment on your CO2 tank or airline. The large-area 30mm disc ensures optimal gas diffusion, making it ideal for high CO2 volume requirements in aquariums ranging from 75 to 190 liters. The system is designed for use with standard aquarium CO2 tubing and includes a suction cup for secure mounting. For best results, position the unit low in your aquarium. When installing, wet the tubing with water to ensure a secure fit and avoid using lubricants. To maintain the integrity of the glassware, always remove tubing by cutting it carefully rather than pulling. Always use a check valve outside the aquarium to protect your system.

FAQs
Does this diffuser come with a check valve?
No, a check valve is not included. It is strongly recommended to purchase a separate check valve to protect your CO2 equipment.
Can I use this in a 50-liter aquarium?
This model is optimized for 75 to 190 liters. It may be too large or provide excessive CO2 for a 50-liter setup.
How often should I clean the ceramic disc?
Clean it whenever you notice a decrease in performance or if algae begins to clog the surface of the disc.
What is the best way to remove old tubing?
Always cut the tubing carefully with a small blade. Never pull on the tubing, as this is the most common cause of glass breakage.
Is it safe for saltwater tanks?
While it can function in saltwater, this diffuser is specifically engineered for the CO2 requirements of high-tech freshwater planted aquariums.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles are too large or uneven
Ensure the ceramic disc is fully saturated and clean. If the issue persists, check for leaks in the CO2 tubing or regulator connection.
Difficulty connecting tubing to glass nipple
Wet the end of the tubing with water to reduce friction; do not use oils or lubricants which may harm your aquarium life.
Suction cup fails to stay attached
Clean the glass surface thoroughly with a scraper or pad and moisten the suction cup before pressing it firmly against the glass.
Not suitable for extremely small or very large tanks
Requires manual tubing cutting for safe removal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, secure the suction cup to the glass wall in a lower section of the aquarium. Ensure your CO2 tubing is compatible with standard aquarium CO2 systems.
Compatibility: Designed for use with standard pressure-rated aquarium CO2 tubing.
Care: When connecting tubing, lightly wet the end to allow it to slide onto the glass nipple easily without the need for force or lubricants. To remove tubing during cleaning or maintenance, carefully cut the tubing with a sharp blade at the connection point rather than pulling, as this prevents stress fractures on the glass.
